One of the things I do is chair the Leadership Development Committee within American Mensa. Traditionally, this has meant helping Mensa leaders do Mensa things. Last year, we expanded what leadership development can look like to include skills that can be used in everyday life. This is the second year of the Level Up! program, where Mensans can learn leadership from industry experts. I'm so excited about the program for next week's Annual Gathering. Making Time to Develop Your People with Care and Candor with Joshua Moore on Wednesday Turning Vision Into Value with Kacey Felila Tolua on Thursday Care of Self and Others with Corwin A. Thomas on Friday Creating Organizational Culture with Amber Vanderburg on Saturday morning Creating and Communicating a Shared Vision with Ash Coleman Hynie on Saturday afternoon It's going to be a fantastic set of talks, and I hope you'll join us in person in Kansas City! #levelup #americanmensa #ag2024
