The USMC APA Professionals Leadership Summit 2023 will present an opportunity to connect on three organizational levels:
1. Individual. Leadership development and mentorship.
2. Community. Building relationships and strengthening ties.
3. Organization. Providing institutional value to the USMC using the strengths of APAs.
This summit will focus on the theme of “Power Words: Proactive, Productive, and Positive Language for Persuasion".
APAs have been told that we have communication challenges and needs. What if we discussed how APAs could leverage our culture to
communicate with words toward a strengths-based approach?
Power Words provides practical tools and frameworks for APAs to maximize and innovate cross-culturally to build more influence, leadership, and collaborative skills in the workplace. Every professional and leader requires the effective deployment of language toward peak
performance. Entire industries such as marketing and sales generate trillions from thoughtful words. Diplomats transform war to trade with the right words. You can too! This course elevates your ability to do so.
• Wield Words in Productive Ways that Leverage APA Cultural Strengths
• Increase Synergies with Others Through Words
• Navigate Fluidly through the Yin-Yang of Language
• Build Confidence & Influence Others
