ONS Leadership Development Institute Step Up and Improve Cancer Care The ONS Leadership Development Institute (LDI) will prepare you to serve as a leader in your personal and professional life, regardless of your practice setting or background.

LDI will help you develop project action plans, enhance your presentation skills, and take home other valuable leadership tools. It emphasizes the importance of networking and building professional relations with your peers, the public, politicians, and other influential decision makers. You’ll also learn how to more effectively manage projects and lead others. You’ll learn to • Understand the impact of change on oneself and the work team. • Demonstrate effective presentation skills, incorporating the use of technological resources, public speaking tips, marketing concepts, and media training. • Use the “Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership” as a guide for the leadership process. • Develop a project plan and effective implementation steps. • Examine and clarify leadership styles, as well as personal strengths and values. • Initiate the development of a personal vision statement. • Network with other nurses from across the country and around the world.
