“ Authentic Leadership Development Workshop”

MAKING THE SHIFT outlines the personal shifts that are required to first lead our own lives. It then busts some of the myths about leadership, by describing the leadershifts that are essential for being a great leader. In the final section, a coaching model is shared that guides participants to make the shifts that are going to make the greatest benefit to them and to the lives of people around them.
