About the Session
The Road Less Traveled: Lessons in Leadership, Resilience, and Service
Leadership isn’t developed in a classroom.
It’s shaped by the experiences that challenge us, stretch us, and teach us who we are.
At this month’s Lewes Leadership Lunch, Jennifer Cohan will share the personal journey that shaped her leadership style—a story of grit, grace, resilience, and service.
Drawing from her experiences leading large organizations and navigating personal and professional challenges, Jennifer will explore how life’s lessons influence the way we communicate, build trust, and lead others.
Together, we’ll explore:
- How adversity shapes leadership
- The power of vulnerability in building trust
- The importance of understanding different communication styles
- Navigating intergenerational challenges in today’s workplace
- Building trust across differences
- What resilience looks like in practice
- Leadership lessons learned along the road less traveled
As with all L3 gatherings, this won’t be a lecture.
It will be a facilitated conversation designed to encourage honest dialogue, meaningful reflection, and practical leadership insights among leaders throughout Delaware.
You’ll leave with fresh perspective, deeper self-awareness, and ideas you can immediately apply within your work, your team, and your life.
