Imagine planning a trip without choosing a destination, mapping an itinerary, or deciding who you’ll travel with. Many of us approach our careers this way — hoping things will work out without ever taking the wheel. This is your invitation to stop wandering and start steering — not just for yourself, but for the teams you lead and influence. Learn how to begin to take ownership of your career and individual leadership development, while also learning how to cultivate accountability, foster a growth mindset, and empower others on your team. First, reflect on your values, uncover your strengths, and learn tools to help you create a personalized roadmap for growth. Then, explore how to effectively encourage your team to adopt a growth mindset, take accountability, and create a team development action plan. Whether you're just starting out or looking to reignite your path, stop waiting for someone else to lead and start practicing how to guide your own journey toward a fulfilling career and culture of results.

A public power utility’s distribution system is its most visible and valuable asset. It is essential to business success and connected to every customer. In addition to delivering energy safely, affordably, and reliably to a traditional electrical load base, today’s distribution system must be robust in its capacity and resilience to support an increasingly electrified economy. This includes connection points and capacity for large data center loads, throughput for distributed energy resources, and infrastructure for communications and information management systems. This seminar will cover both technical and business aspects of strategic planning and proactive investment necessary to manage the system’s capacity for growth, reliability, and resilience to achieve the vision of a fully supported local economy at the lowest total cost of ownership.
