The Leader Within

Course Description:

This intensive workshop is designed to actively engage participants in discovering the necessary personal and professional qualities needed to release the leader within and support the “spirited workplace.” It begins with an examination of the current operating realities and the major friction factors that deflect the alignment of purpose.
