NNEST-IS Webinar: Emerging NNEST Leaders: Where do we begin?

When:  Feb 8, 2023 from 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM (ET)

Description

Becoming a leader and developing a leadership identity is a journey that takes dedication, persistence, and mindfulness. Embarking on such a journey as a non-native English speaker is challenging as we enter a world that is not ours, a space with its own rules, values, beliefs, and expectations about leadership. NNESTs thrive on working hard, advocating for their students, and developing professionally. Oftentimes, those efforts go unrecognized because they do not fall within the realm of leadership as defined by native speakers’ values. How can NNEST emerging leaders create their own leadership path, carve their own place, and inspire others? People become leaders by internalizing a leadership identity and developing a sense of purpose (Ibarra, 2010). In this webinar, attendees will explore tools in leadership identity development and discuss actionable leadership practices situated in their respective contexts. The webinar aims to empower attendees to enact their own leadership identity as emerging, impactful TESOL leaders.
