Leader’s Circle: Becoming a Leader 

Every leader starts somewhere—and the first steps into management often bring pivotal lessons. In the first webinar of the Leader’s Circle series, Becoming a Leader, three respected sleep industry leaders will share candid stories from their experiences as first-time managers, including the challenges they faced, the insights they gained, and the advice they would give their younger selves. 

Through an open, practical discussion, attendees will gain perspectives they can apply as they step into a new management role or continue developing their leadership approach.

The Conversation 

The discussion will explore three key questions: 

• What is one misstep you made as a new manager, and what did it teach you? 

• What is the most important skill for a new manager to develop? 

• What positive lesson or experience shaped the leader you are today?
