This 3-day workshop is designed to help leaders connect with their authentic leadership calling. Many who find themselves in leadership roles are overwhelmed with firefighting and managing the day-to-day demands of the role. Instead, how do you create and commit to a leadership agenda that is authentic to you?
We will explore the spirit and philosophy of leadership, going beyond conventional notions of corporate leadership. We will also explore the concept of calling and how you are called to lead. This retreat will show you the way to lead with greater authenticity and integrity. This retreat is not about self-promotion and getting ahead.
Through your authentic leadership, you can create transformative change and leave a positive legacy.
“The hidden leadership tends to focus on the small but fundamental issues that make a big overall difference in the future, while the external leadership focuses on dealing with the big consequences of things already formed in the past.” ~ Carol Anthony
