Formation and Benefit of Peer Groups - Presented by the Emerging Leaders Committee

When:  Oct 6, 2022 from 10:00 to 11:00 (CT)

Questioning if a peer group is right for you and how can it help you grow as a leader?

Consider this:

  • Do you have a group of peers helping you maximize your growth and effectiveness? 
  • Do you have peers that encourage you and hold you accountable?
  • Do you want to be a part of a team that encourages you along your career path and will you be an encourager of others?
  • What is the difference between facilitated on non-facilitated peer groups?

Join CSIA’s Emerging Leaders for a look into the benefits of a peer group and provide opportunities for peer groups to form.

It can be lonely at the top. Leaders can easily become isolated. A peer group can help overcome hurdles a leader might face going at it alone. Join the CSIA peer groups to gain different perspectives, learn from others’ competencies, increase emotional intelligence, and benefit from accountability relationships.
