Reset, Refocus, Recharge: A Mid-Year Leadership Power Hour

We’re about to hit the halfway mark of the year and it’s the perfect time for financial operations leaders to pause, reflect, and realign. In this webinar, we’ll explore how AP leaders can conduct effective mid-year check-ins with their teams, provide meaningful feedback, and foster accountability without burnout. We will discuss how to best structure your 1:1's to maximize your time and how to answer the path for development questions from your team.

You’ll also learn strategies to assess your own leadership progress, recalibrate goals, and reignite your team’s motivation to ensure a strong finish to the year. This session will also include some ideas for team building, and how to create fun events where the team can have meaningful shared experiences. 

Whether you manage a small team or a large department, this session will equip you with practical, people-first tools to lead with intention and impact.
