About the Webinar
This is session 1 in our series, Propel Your Future Leaders. Be sure to explore the other sessions as well:
- Session 2 – The Role of Value Alignment, Empathy, and Identity in Next-Generation Leadership

In the first of our series of webinars on how to propel your future leaders, we’ll explore ways to reduce workplace barriers and cultivate a climate of psychological safety and resilience for leaders under 30 based on our recent research on emerging leaders.
Psychological safety creates space for younger leaders to make meaningful contributions and bring in their new perspectives. In addition, concern over burnout and high-stress environments can act as workplace barriers and prevent young professionals from stepping into leadership roles. We’ll share practical strategies you can start using right away to foster psychological safety and resilience for emerging leaders in your organization, reducing the workplace barriers that are holding them back from leadership roles.

- What types of things act as workplace barriers, preventing employees under 30 from stepping into leadership roles
