Strategic Hustle: Leading with Focus, Calm & Conviction

The IT staffing industry moves fast—and so do the demands on its emerging leaders. Success today requires more than hustle; it takes strategic thinking, calm under pressure, and the ability to set healthy boundaries that fuel performance and prevent burnout.

In this 2.5 hour in-person workshop, participants will develop three essential leadership capabilities:

• Strategic Mindset – how to think beyond the task at hand and focus on what drives sustainable growth
• Pressure Resilience – how to stay grounded and make smart decisions, even in high-stakes moments
• Boundary Setting – how to lead effectively without losing yourself in the chaos

Designed for rising leaders eager to succeed in their current roles and prepare for what’s next, this session offers practical tools, real-world insights, and the chance to learn with and from peers across the industry. You'll walk away with a forward-focused mindset, renewed energy, and the confidence to lead with greater influence—driving both team performance and organizational impact.

** Must register in advance (extra fee). Must be registered for the Executive Summit to attend the workshop.

** This workshop is a bonus workshop for those already participating in The Leadership Essentials Training and attending the Executive Summit.
