Effective leadership comes first and foremost from a strong internal sense of purpose, self-awareness, integrity and commitment. Only on that foundation can theories and skills be meaningfully integrated and applied for effective leadership of others. In this workshop, leaders are called to a high level of honesty and introspection to build that strong foundation.

"i appreciate the whack on the side of the head, and I am taking action toward my goals." M.C., Santa Fe, NM

Through highly experiential processes, leaders will learn to look to their hearts as well as their heads for the wisdom and willingness to recognize and do what needs to be done, and to inspire the same in others. Done in an atmosphere of safety, fun, peacefulness and challenge, this workshop has been described as a life-changing experience. The learning is readily applicable both to professional and personal life, and integration is enhanced by the workshop’s follow-up format.
