Leadership Series - Session 1 "Core Energy Leadership" with Wes Becton

Our FEI Chicago Leadership Series is focused on helping seated (and aspiring!) CFO’s continue to elevate as leaders within their organizations and the broader community.  Each speaker will focus on one (or all) of the 3 key elements of leadership:

  1. Leverage the Greatness in You (Manage Yourself)

  2. Engage the Greatness in Others (Lead Teams)

  3. Achieve and Sustain Extraordinary Outcomes (Business & Financial Acumen)

You can expect to leave with actionable tips and tools to help you continue to show up as the leader you want to be.   

In this Session Wes will be walking us through the Core Energy Leadership methodology, that aims to influence and support constructive change in the perspectives, emotional reactions, and behaviors of leaders, workers, and whole organizations. It is based on the understanding that humans are, at the core, energetic beings and that the quality and amount of core energy a person experiences daily will determine their overall potential to achieve goals and experience fulfillment
