Women In Technology (WIT) Virtual Workshop

Leading Without Authority

We invite you to a virtual workshop hosted by Innovate@UCLA Women in Technology (WIT) and Women In Technology Hollywood (WiTH)!

How to Lead Without Authority

In today’s dynamic workplace, the ability to manage teams and influence outcomes without formal authority is an essential skill. This interactive session explores strategies and mindsets necessary to lead and collaborate effectively in situations where direct power is limited.
You will learn to influence, build trust, and foster collaboration to inspire action and achieve results across teams and departments.

Key learning outcomes include:

• Building strong relationships in professional environments
• Communicating effectively to align and motivate teams
• Empowering colleagues to take the initiative and drive results

Through group discussions and interactive exercises, you will gain practical tools and insights to confidently influence projects and teams, even in environments with complex reporting structures.
Join us to unlock the art of leading through influence and drive success, regardless of your formal position.

Speakers:

• Anna Islamova, Management Consultant, Insigniam
• Josh LeGassick, Professional Management Consultant, Insigniam

This workshop will be a joint event with attendees from both Innovate@UCLA’s Women in Technology (WIT) and Women In Technology Hollywood (WiTH). In November, you’ll have the chance to meet your new virtual connections in person at the Southern California Women’s Leadership event.
