Tuesday’s NCRA Empower seminar was centered on leadership in both our personal and professional lives. The speaker challenged us to think about leadership in a new way: not simply as leading others, but as leading ourselves well. He encouraged us to reflect on qualities such as honesty, a hunger to learn, and continual growth.
One of the most meaningful moments of the evening came from a simple but powerful question, in my words: “What brings you joy outside of your professional life?” That question really stayed with me.
We also shared in small groups what traits define a true leader. The words I chose were “integrity” and “empathy.” To me, those qualities matter deeply. Everyone brings their own perspective to the conversation, and that’s what made the discussion so impactful. There truly are no wrong answers.
I would strongly encourage all court reporters to sign up for this powerful seminar series. There are still four sessions remaining. The first session will be available to you once you sign up. Each session will offer an opportunity for growth, reflection, and connection. Run, don’t walk, and sign up today. CEUs will be awarded, and the seminar is free for NCRA members.
