Highly effective leaders are not only able to develop a vision and action plan, but are master communicators. Hosted by the American Academy of Nursing’s (Academy) Institute for Nursing Leadership (INL), this workshop is designed to strengthen one’s ability to wield the power of words, data, and storytelling towards influence and action. Whether addressing colleagues, potential partners, or those in seats of decision-making authority, understanding how to navigate key elements such as interpersonal dynamics, tailoring your language to be audience-specific, and approaching conversations with a “win-win” mindset are vital for successful leadership.

​

 Participants will hear an inspiring keynote on how to utilize communication tools to meet these goals and will have the opportunity to join a breakout discussion of their choosing that builds off one of the themes incorporated into the keynote address. Participants will feel more empowered to be the decision-maker others turn to when the stakes are high.
