This module will focus on leading in a variety of different situations. I am excited to share with you a Values-Centred Leadership model I learned when working with Lance Secretan. After exploring the basics of the model, you will have the opportunity to apply it to one or more aspects of your work. We will include identifying your values mostly by examining what you actually do as an expression of them. Bringing spirit to your leadership includes identifying and applying what you already know to the leadership roles you play. As you become more familiar with the concepts of Leading with Spirit and Wisdom you will bring your own personalized dimension to the model. Within the model, you will explore the “shadow” in your own personality as well as limiting beliefs and other common issues that are a barrier to success. The work you do in this unit can be used in a variety of situations in your life. To register, contact me and send a non refundable deposit for $75 payable to Marie Knapp. The rest is due the first evening of class.
