Sunday, January 26, 2025
3:15 PM - 5:00 PM
Session Type: Plenary
The work of probation, parole, and pretrial supervision is as challenging as it is important. The work can be among our most tumultuous experiences in life. While that happens, it can also be among our most rewarding experiences; and perhaps those are not coincidental. We can and should be the contagion of healthy change; for our clients, for victims, for each other, and for others around us who hold a stake in our work. We can adopt a leadership mindset that allows for co-elevation, that is, making each other better with both support and with healthy challenges. Change leadership is not a role or title. It is a mindset, a system of beliefs and values, and a contagious approach to making each other smarter, stronger, safer, and more well. This session will advance the basic principles of people-centered and culture-forward leadership. It will challenge us all to think a little differently about going from good to great in our work. Please note: Unfortunately, this session is not eligible for continuing education credit.
