WHAT IS A LEADER?
A leader inspires others to action while exploring beliefs and values through teaching, learning, and building sustainable communities. A leader must be personable enough for others to follow their directives; they must engage in critical thinking, interpersonal communication, inclusive team building, and emotional intelligence as foundational skills.
WHY CHOOSE LEADERSHIPIN?
The goal is to raise awareness while developing a road map toward developing and/or improving leadership ability. While there are people who seem to be natural leaders, we realize the importance of development and engagement to enhance leadership abilities. The journey toward leadership takes time, energy, communication, transparency, and patience.
Join in on a journey steeped with dialogue, examples, and interactions today.
