Themes Covered
You want to discover personal balance and self-awareness while achieving professional growth

Leadership
Driving scalable change means taking others on the journey and making it feel like it was their idea. You have the courage, clear vision and ambition to be a change leader but want to keep evolving your skills of influence.

Emotional Intelligence
Effective leaders have strong self-awareness and build trusting relationships. You want to gain insights in order to communicate better, keep balanced, navigate conflict and empathize with others.

Resilience
Resilience is about adapting to change while paying attention and being more aware of our thoughts, emotions and physical signals. We live in a very distracting world and are overwhelmed by inputs that challenge our focus and balance.
