Leading Through Being:
Inner Dimensions of Leadership
Facilitated by Keynote Presenter Rev. Diane Berke
(2 General CEUs) | STANDALONE COST: $50
Modern research offers compelling evidence that we impact those around us not only through what we do, but also through who we are: how we show up in the world in and in our interactions and relationships with others. Our own inner state, the consciousness we embody, is perhaps the strongest and most impactful dimension of our leadership. This session will focus on how we can cultivate the qualities of being that create communities and conditions that support the best in people to emerge and thrive.
