SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: The Calm Leader
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Calm Leader: Why the Best Leaders Slow Down Before They Speak \nIn our previous conversation\, we unpacked the self-doubt many high achievers carry beneath the surface. This next chapter looks at what happens when that pressure gets activated in real time. A critical email. A tense conversation. A financial setback. These moments do not test your intelligence. They test your composure. \nLeadership is built in the seconds between feeling triggered and choosing how to respond. Quick reactions may feel decisive\, but they often cost credibility and trust. The leaders who earn lasting influence are not the fastest to speak. They are the most intentional. \nThis presentation explores how emotional activation shapes leadership and offers practical strategies to slow down\, respond with clarity\, and lead with steady authority under pressure. \n  \nPanelist Bio \n\nCandice Rousseau\, MSW\, BSW\, RSW\, Reflect Reset Renew Therapy Services \nCandice Rousseau is the founder of Reflect Reset Renew Therapy Services\, a group private practice in Niagara that supports individuals\, couples\, families\, and children as they navigate life’s challenges with compassion and authenticity. \nHer background includes years of experience in hospital and municipal social work\, alongside private practice\, allowing her to bring both clinical expertise and a practical\, relatable perspective to conversations about mental health and wellbeing. \nCandice is especially passionate about creating approachable and meaningful discussions that empower people to care for their mental health while building sustainable success in their personal and professional lives. Her work also looks beyond the individual\, recognizing the broader community and challenges faced in Niagara and beyond—and how these pressures impact mental health on a larger scale. \nRegister Here \n  \nZoom meeting information will be sent out the day before the meeting\, day of registrants will receive the link by 11:00am. \n
