Take a moment and ask yourself, WHO AM I AS A LEADER? How do I affect the lives of those who follow and the communities that I serve? Join Betty Shotton in an exploration of your unique leadership character. With a passion for the important role that leaders play in the evolution of our societies, she will put leadership into the context of today’s economic, financial and political climate. From there she will lead a discussion of attributes that make for exceptional leadership, followed by a value clarification exercise to identify your own. Practical and provocative, this exploration into your character is an important step in aligning who you are with what you do. This is a good session for leaders who seek to increase their capacity to lead and for those who are in a career transition. Bring an open mind and a sense of adventure for a journey to exceptional leadership.
