Contemplative in Action: Ignatian Spirituality and Leadership
Thursday, Nov. 7, Noon (EST)
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
Presented by
Karin Botto, Assistant Vice President of Human Resources & Organizational Development and
Father David McCallum ‘90, S.J., Vice President of Mission Integration at Le Moyne College
A common term in Jesuit circles is being contemplative in action where one holds a reflective stance while being engaged in the world. Given today’s fast-paced environment, it can be challenging for leaders at all levels to find time and space to be reflective.
Mindfulness is the ability to be present with the people and situations as they unfold in the moment. Distracted leaders waste time, money and engagement of others by their inability to be present. Mindfulness is a strategic imperative in today’s workplace.
Join Karin Botto, Assistant Vice President of Human Resources & Organizational Development and Father David McCallum ‘90, S.J., Vice President of Mission Integration at Le Moyne College in this webcast conversation as they share insights and ideas on incorporating mindfulness into your leadership.

Professional Social Media & Building Your Personal Brand
Wednesday, Oct. 23, 12:30 p.m. (EST)
CLICK HERE FOR RECORDING
It used to just be those of us in marketing that needed to be active on social media, but now we see success stories every day from people in all professions and walks of life.
Why? It’s simple. As people lose trust in “brands,” they’ve gained confidence in people. Regardless of your profession, people connect with people. They want honest, genuine, human experiences. So, even more important than simply having a LinkedIn or Twitter profile, is having a personal brand.
In this presentation, we will cover setting up your LinkedIn and Twitter profiles, best-practices for engaging your network, inspiring content creators to follow, and an interactive worksheet on how to create your personal brand.
About the Presenter:
Claire Kennedy ’14 is the Social Media Marketing Manager at Forrester (SiriusDecisions product line). She manages organic social media and built a best-in-class social media enablement and advocacy program within SiriusDecisions.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in English with minors in Communications and Music from Le Moyne College as well as a certificate in Advanced Social Media Strategy from Syracuse University Newhouse.
