Speaker: Karin Di Bella, Chair of the Department of Music and Associate Professor of Piano
“Many women shy away from positions of leadership for fear that they become consumed by the demands of their role. With some strategic boundaries in place, it is possible to navigate the world of leadership and still have a life outside of it.”
In Testing the Balance: Lead without losing yourself, Karin will share some “concrete tools” to help “preserve your personal space in a world where we are always in demand.”
