Ready to rethink what great leadership really looks like?
Join IAEE New England for our next Virtual Lunch & Learn featuring Michelle Strand-Juntunen, Senior Attendee Customer Service Manager at EventWorks, Informa. After nearly 30 years in the events industry, Michelle believed she had leadership figured out—until life changed overnight. A new management role, two children leaving for college, a family crisis, and a life-saving medical emergency completely transformed how she leads, sets boundaries, and prioritizes well-being.
In this honest and inspiring 30-minute session, you’ll discover:
- How life-changing challenges reshaped Michelle’s approach to leadership
- A simple morning ritual that now positively impacts more than 60 colleagues
- Practical strategies for setting healthy boundaries without guilt
- Why taking care of yourself is one of the most important things you can do for your team If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, struggled to say no, or found yourself putting everyone else’s needs before your own, this conversation is for you. The strongest leaders aren’t the ones who appear to have it all together, they’re the ones willing to lead with authenticity.
