Join Connext: Emerging Nonprofit Leaders for a Lunch & Learn on the topic of managing up. Enjoy this professional development and networking opportunity over a casual lunch with fellow nonprofit professionals.

Young professionals are often eager to move their careers forward. It can be hard to balance job responsibilities and stay motivated while supporting a boss?s goals. In this Connext Lunch & Learn, Kelly Byrnes will share how young professionals can:

• Show up to learn, contribute, and build your reputation for excellence
• Manage up to support your boss?s goals and help them succeed
• Move up to accomplish your own goals

We?ll cover all of those, along with how to balance them without getting too stressed out or cracking under the pressure.
