Connection Series — Gentle Influence: Leadership in the Heart of Change

This year's Connection Series luncheon, sponsored by VSP Vision, was a great event! Amanda Shapiro, the featured speaker, shared about new leadership strategies that build strong connections, boost resilience, and spark creativity in fast-changing environments. Attendees learned how to make a positive difference in their organizations and beyond, no matter what their role. This insightful discussion provided helpful hints and practical tools to embrace influence with empathy, mindfulness, and humility.
