No matter your title — CEO, team lead, solopreneur, or emerging leader — you influence the people around you. Uncover your natural leadership style to help you better understand your strengths, your blind spots, and how you show up for others.

Using real-world examples and a breakdown of four core leadership archetypes—Visionary, Operator, Processor, and Synergist—you’ll learn how to:

·  Recognize your leadership “superpowers”

·  Adapt to and collaborate with different leadership styles

·  Avoid burnout by aligning your energy with the right role

·  Communicate more effectively across teams and settings

You’ll leave with practical tools and self-awareness that can elevate how you lead—wherever you are in your journey. 

Presentation by Melissa A. Bloom, Ed.D. who is the founder and president of Expanse Strategists LLC, a consulting firm helping high-growth organizations align strategy, strengthen leadership, and streamline operations. With 20+ years of executive experience across tech, education, government, and professional services, she brings cross-sector insight to complex growth challenges.

Based in Peoria, IL, Melissa also serves as a Vistage CEO Chair and is certified in Predictable Success and Harvard’s 6 Team Conditions. Her clients see measurable gains—from accelerated revenue to reduced executive turnover and operational efficiency.

She’s also a keynote speaker, facilitator, and author of Queen Bee Chronicles: Empowering Women to Challenge Biases and Spark Change.

Registration closes on the 2nd Tuesday at 8 am. Late registrations and walk-ins will be charged $40 (member and non-member).
