Kickstart 2024!
FIRST FRIDAY January 5, 2024
Elevate and Energize Your New Year!
You’re a dynamic individual with personal interests, career goals, and obligations to family or friends. There’s a lot to balance. You may be in a great place looking forward or maybe you’re feeling stuck. We get it.
This time of year we often rush through fall, navigate the holidays, and welcome the New Year with high expectations. January arrives, and we feel the pressure to start the year on the right foot, with hopes, resolutions, and ambitions. Is it time to focus or change? Wondering whether it’s time to launch a new endeavor, explore a new career, start a new business, or just rebalance your life and realign into what brings you joy and fulfillment?
Start your New Year off with an afternoon to help you focus and get energized.
Kickstart 2024 – Get Ready!
Join Leadership Rochester and our host, Nazareth University, for an exciting event that will supercharge and kickstart your 2024.

This is an afternoon that’s all about energizing and equipping you for success in 2024!

Track1: Leadership Paradigms
Inspire 2024: The Science of Hope Centered Leadership by Ashley Cross Ed.D

Build 2024: Team-Centric Leadership: Fueling Success Together by Nikki Parris
Are we creating environments where individuals love to come to work, and people want to win for us? In this group coaching-style workshop, each participant comes away with a roadmap and a way forward toward distinguishing their personal leadership style and/or organizations and circles of

Balance 2024: Using a Mindfulness Compass to Navigate Your Life by Kristen Fragnoli
In this workshop, participants will gain insight, hope, transformation, and vision for their life using the 4 directions of the compass as a tool.

Reflect on and begin to articulate where you are rooted, what brings you joy, what may be ending in your life, and what new beginnings may be calling you forward. Apply these meditations and conversations to whatever part of your life you are seeking growth – career, relationships, community, or another area of focus. Leave with practices and applications that you can continue on your own as you walk courageously into 2024.
