The best leaders thoroughly understand themselves. Time and time again, research has shown that self-awareness and self-direction are two essential factors in leadership effectiveness. As leaders gain a better sense of themselves and a clearer plan to self-actualization, they also:

• Understand leadership in a brand new way
• Discover the “inner” leader as a source of growth

Training Methodology

The instruction of this dynamic seminar will consist of content lecture, video dramatizations, assessments, engaging class discussions, and many exercises to make the learning come alive.
