November Panelist:
Courage Builder
Most of us don’t spend enough time considering who we are beyond the roles and titles, let alone what we want and what we need.
To Be Bold means to live, lead and work with authenticity and alignment. The first step in getting there is to become aware of what that means for us.
In our time together we will share stories about waking up to these concepts and shifting to live, lead and work in a more aligned, authentic way. We will give participants time to explore who they are and what they want and need, then provide tools to continue the journey.
