Stedman Graham and UnityFirst.com launch leadership series on “Identity” igniting new SUCCESS for executives, professionals and entrepreneurs
New York, NY – Stedman Graham, the New York Times best-selling author of the book “You Can Make It Happen” is collaborating with Janine and Tom Fondon of the national, diversity-focused online network UnityFirst.com, to offer an online video web series about leadership that focuses on “identity” beginning December 1, 2011 (register at www.UnityFirst.com) with following sessions in 2012 (January-March).
The series, “Identity Matters: Make Success Happen by Defining Your Potential,” explores ‘identity’ as one of today’s most compelling factors critical to the success of executives, professionals and business owners who want to take the lead with a greater competitive advantage and make new success happen in a socially-networked, innovation-inspired and competition-driven world. Professionals at all levels across the country are invited to join this leadership initiative that is designed to highlight top talent and innovative businesses.
“I am very excited to collaborate with UnityFirst.com and am looking forward to reaching and inspiring people across the country to focus on the power of ‘identity’ and its direct relation to individual and collective success in the workplace and beyond,” said Graham who will share his ‘Nine Step Success Process’ as part of the series. “Identity is considered complex and multi-dimensional – impacting our abilities to achieve, lead and succeed.”
“To lead others more effectively, you must be able to lead your ‘SELF’ with an ‘identity’ that best defines and represents who you are as well as your potential to lead and influence others,” adds Graham. “Identity Development will challenge your fundamental assumptions about leadership in the 21st century and prepare you to make success happen. Now, more than at any other time, leaders will need to perform at higher levels and with the challenges of more complex situations—especially given changes in consumer trends, improvements in technology, and many other factors that underscore the demand for skilled, talented leaders in the marketplace, today and tomorrow. To best prepare for opportunities ahead, we invite professionals at all levels to participate in this series. The best way to predict your future is to create it. Also, when you change your thinking about who you are and what is possible, the barriers of race, gender, class and labels are eliminated.”
Janine Fondon, President and CEO of UnityFirst.com, says, “We are so pleased to work with Stedman as he truly inspires people at all levels and of varied backgrounds to create the success they have always envisioned. The ‘Nine Step Success Process’ will help individuals find success and see their value in today’s marketplace. We want to tell the stories of achievement and keep people moving on the fast track to meeting their goals — from financial freedom to career growth and/or entrepreneurial success. Join us and network on a new level.”
