This May, the Payroll Team's Ann Criser-Shedd graduated from the Leaders Lab of Greater Charlottesville, a transformative leadership training program designed to enhance collaboration and community engagement. This milestone marks a significant step in her ongoing journey to make a meaningful impact in her work and her community (read more about Criser-Shedd in the blog).
The Leaders Lab of Greater Charlottesville is dedicated to fostering effective leadership skills among current and emerging leaders. Over nine months, from September to May, participants engage in monthly sessions emphasizing leading from personal values, building consensus, making ethical decisions, and practicing principled negotiation. The program also focuses on equitable collaboration, cultural competence and self-awareness, and equipping leaders to tackle local issues with empathy and strategic insight.
Criser-Shedd's experience in the Leaders Lab reinforced her belief that leadership is not confined to managerial roles. She realized that she exhibits leadership daily through her interactions with peers and colleagues.
"You make a difference; anybody can lead—leadership is about relationships," she explains.
Another key takeaway from the program was the importance of intentionality in all aspects of life. Ann adopted this mindset, which has helped her stay focused on her goals and maintain a positive impact on those around her.
With her graduation from the Leaders Lab, Ann Criser-Shedd is poised to continue making significant contributions to her community.
