In Episode 22 of the Brand Slam podcast, hosts Steve Rosa and Joe Kayata attend the Association of Leadership Programs (ALP) National Conference in Providence, Rhode Island. They speak with Michelle Carr, executive director of Leadership Rhode Island (LRI), and Lura Hammond, executive director of ALP.
Michelle shares the immense honor LRI feels hosting the event—this is the first time since 1988 that they’ve had the opportunity. She reflects on the rich history of LRI and the hard work that’s led to this moment, sharing the pride and excitement of bringing such a prestigious event to Rhode Island.
Lura discusses the wide-reaching membership of ALP, which extends across the country and includes participants globally. She emphasizes the conference’s role as a unique platform for global engagement and connection—she explains the value lies not only in the diverse learning opportunities but also in the invaluable connections made among attendees.
Both guests highlight the essential qualities needed in today’s rapidly evolving world, such as passion, collaboration, critical thinking, empathy and leading by example. They believe these traits are crucial for effective leadership and can significantly impact overcoming challenges faced by leaders today.
