Inspiring Conversations: "Leading People in an Ever-Changing World"

- (part of a series)

Location: virtual via Zoom

Notre Dame’s Inspired Leadership Initiative is launching a new digital series featuring leaders from across many disciplines and industries.  “Inspiring Conversations,” will be co-hosted by the University’s Colleges and will address a different theme each semester.   This fall, the theme is “Leading people in an ever-changing world.”


Each guest speaker will share stories, perspectives and lessons learned from their own experiences as leaders – both within their organizations and in their communities.  Participants will explore the concepts of human-centered leadership – mission, empathy, courage and adaptability. Participants will walk away enriched and inspired to take action within their own communities. 

This digital series is open to all and offers a unique and engaging opportunity to engage with industry leaders and Notre Dame’s academic leadership. The “Inspiring Conversations” Series is exclusively offered through ThinkND, Notre Dame’s open online learning community.
