Access to Experience: Leveraging Education to Build Stronger Leaders and Teams
About the Event
Leadership doesn’t happen by accident, it’s built through experience, learning, and intentional development. In this session, we’ll hear from industry leaders who advanced their careers through structured education and designation pathways.
They’ll share how continued learning shaped their leadership style, strengthened their teams, and helped them cultivate a more adaptable, skilled workforce. We’ll also be joined by David Upin, VP of Education at MBA, to explore how leaders can leverage education as a practical tool for workforce development, team retention, and long-term growth, without adding unnecessary complexity.
This conversation is designed for leaders who want to invest in their people, grow internal talent, and create clearer paths to leadership through learning.
