Leading Without A Title: Influence Without Authority

What to expect
You don’t need a job title to lead—you need behaviours that earn trust and move work forward. Prudence and Sikelela share candid stories, how they navigated early leadership moments, the misconceptions that hold people back, and practical ways to start today—running better conversations, shaping decisions, and building momentum across teams.
