The conversation was guided by (from left to right in the picture) moderator Janet Eickhoff, Vice President, Strategic Partnerships and Institutional Advancement, and panelists Dr. Charlene Glenn, Professor, Business Division, Jamie Loggains, Assistant Professor, Health Programs, Dr. Mary Ellen Caro, President and CEO, and Melissa Jackson-Schmidt, Peirce Alumna ‘18, Business Administration Program Manager at YouthBuild Philadelphia Charter High School.
These experienced panelists spoke on an array of leadership topics from how they view leadership, what they have learned about leadership in their career journey so far, advice for those who are seeking leadership opportunities and more. There were points made on integrity, credibility and authenticity; the true importance of the people who surround you and support you; and the real value of knowing when to lead, when to follow, and when to get out of the way. These lessons have carried the presenters to their current roles in leadership and continue to guide them as they all move forward on their career paths.
