Teaching is done on an individual basis within the group setting, allowing students to work at their own level and nurture their own style of expression.

Fee Includes materials. The Paradox of Leadership NEW! Join us for an interactive workshop on re-discovering you: your strengths, your values, your passions, and your goals. Together, we will define the key attributes of your personal brand and —more importantly — how to use this brand for the impact and change that you are looking to make in your personal and/ or professional worlds. Whether you are looking to re-enter the workforce, make a career transition, find clarity in your life, or simply discover more confidence, a personal brand will serve as a compass and anchor to help you navigate from where you are to where you want to be. Participants will experience not only vulnerability, connection, and inspiration during the workshop, but also some “tough love” coaching and the creation of a cus- tomized toolkit on how to bring your brand to life. Please come prepared to discuss a current goal and where you believe you might be getting in your own way of achieving that goal.
