Leadership Essentials

From Manager to Leader — Build the Mindset, Skills, and Confidence to Lead with Impact

In today’s fast-changing workplace, technical expertise and management ability are no longer enough. The next generation of leaders must inspire, influence, and empower others. Leadership Essentials is a powerful, practical program by Ritu G. Mehrish designed to help emerging leaders develop the capabilities that truly matter — from emotional intelligence and communication to strategic thinking and decision-making.

This program bridges the gap between managing tasks and leading people, equipping participants with the essential skills and confidence to lead with impact.
