IN PERSON: Deepen Your Impact Leadership Development Retreat

According to many studies, authenticity is one of the most important components of effective and impactful leadership. You have probably attended some training programs where you learned about the importance of values and purpose; you may have gone through an exercise of defining them for yourself. And yet, when faced with the pressures of your daily responsibilities, you may find it challenging to always let your values and purpose guide your actions. While 75% of working Americans reported symptoms of burnout in the summer of 2020 [according to www.flexjobs.com], stress is only one reason for it. Another one could be your mindset. If your concern for the security of your position and reputation is stronger than your sense of purpose, it could be challenging to be an authentic leader. If you are unsure of the value of your own voice, it might be difficult for you to speak up.
This Retreat is an opportunity to expand your skills and capacity for Authentic Leadership.
Attend the event and:

• Recover from the added stress of leading in times of COVID;
• Renew your connection and commitment to your own Voice, fueled by your values and purpose;
• Recharge your capacity to provide inspiration and stability to your organizations;
• Create and practice a mindset essential for authentic leadership;
• Discover in what areas of your work and your life your leadership is most needed;
• Learn voice techniques used by professional actors, and communication techniques used by professional negotiators;
• Walk away with at least one actionable insight that will allow you to dramatically increase the effectiveness of your leadership and your own satisfaction with it.
• Through practice and peer coaching gain courage, inspiration, and confidence to put your new skills into action.

"Feeling calm, happy, hopeful and energized";  Elena Johnson, Physical Therapist"I learned that a better way to lead is to ask curious questions and to gain an understanding of the other person's perspective." C.D. Senior Executive, USG"It was wonderful to have a day structured for me, instead of managing my time. That felt like a treat! Plus, it had built-in breaks, a built-in time to get outside (which I used to go for a run), and built-in meal times. Everything I needed, even some things I didn't know I needed." S.A.
