• Security Leaders to Business Leaders

As the landscape of work undergoes a significant transformation with the rise of remote and hybrid work models, security professionals find themselves challenged to adapt to this new paradigm. In response to these changes, security leaders are compelled to shift their traditional approaches and embrace a fresh perspective in their roles. This shift involves rethinking not just the “how" and "what" of their responsibilities, but, more critically, the "why".

This presentation delves into the vital importance of transitioning from a security-focused mindset to one centered on the business's needs, especially in high-paced, hyper-growth environments. Attendees will gain insights into reshaping their thinking and problem-solving from a business-oriented standpoint.

• Successfully Influencing with Your Executive Presence

Confidently dealing with executive leadership and presenting to senior leaders can be a valuable opportunity to build relationships and advance your career. Executives will get to know you and the value that you bring. Seek opportunities to talk to senior leaders who can provide valuable insights regarding the organization and how your role can play a part in the success of the goals of the organization. One’s past experiences and challenges help influence decisions in the present which will hopefully include a greater focus on interpersonal dynamic development.
