Geno Auriemma UConn Leadership Series
Geno Auriemma UConn Leadership Series
This exclusive Speaker and Workshop Series offers currently enrolled UConn School of Business graduate students access to featured industry leaders who will share real-world stories demonstrating what leadership “looks like” and what skills will get you there. What makes this series unique is that we don’t stop there. We support the evidence each Executive Speaker offers and reinforce that it can be learned, via a three-part skills-based Workshop Series* aimed to build leadership awareness, resilience, and further enhance communication and relationship building skills. Each session will include a call to action to reinforce what was learned.
*With gratitude, the School of Business acknowledges Mary Laschinger '92 EMBA for generously supporting this Workshop Series.
