Becoming a leader often comes with unspoken pressure — to prove yourself quickly, meet visible metrics, and measure success by how others define it. For emerging leaders, this can quietly distort decision-making, confidence, and performance at the very moment when clarity matters most. This webinar explores why effective leadership development requires redefining success before chasing outcomes.

In this session, Linda Miller — an Olympic rower and Founder & President of a program integrity-focused nonprofit organization —shares lessons from her experience training for and competing in the 2000 Olympics that continue to shape how she leads today. Linda will discuss how elite performers learn to separate process from results, manage fear under pressure, and stay grounded in what they can control — skills that are critical for leaders early in their careers.

Participants will explore how to build a strong leadership foundation by focusing on habits, decision-making, and mindset rather than external validation. Topics include recognizing fear-driven behaviors that show up in new leadership roles, applying a process-first approach in high-visibility moments, and developing a personal definition of success that supports growth, credibility, and long-term impact.
