Women in Propane Roundtable: Through the Leadership Lens
Saturday, April 6 | 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
For this year’s roundtable event at the 2024 Expo, the Women in Propane Council is hosting a special LIVE interactive Through the Leadership Lens Podcast, where attendees will hear from a panel of some of the podcast’s past guests, and gain insight as hosts Bridget Kidd and Freddie Ridler navigate questions about leadership from the live audience. Attendees will have the opportunity to reflect on their own leadership journey, as we workshop the podcast's signature questions:
1. What does Leadership mean to you?
2. Can you recall a time you led someone or a team? Or a great leader you had?
3. How has your Leadership style changed throughout the years?
Audience members will engage in roundtable discussions following their own leadership self-evaluation.
