Authentic Leadership: Leading from Within
A highly interactive workshop designed to increase participants' clarity about their
own core values and strengths, and empower them to take the next step in their own
development as leaders. For our purposes, leader is defined as any person, in contact
with others, who wants to have a positive impact in the world. We are all leaders.
We are all more effective leaders when we operate from our own essential self.
As part of the workshop, participants will be asked to commit to taking one action
step toward a more authentic presence in their own lives.
Participants will engage in individual and partner exercises to help them clarify their
own values, their future directions, and their current commitment to change.

members--and to live our lives according to our values. This highly interactive workshop
is designed to increase participants' clarity about their own core values and strengths,
and empower them to take the next step in their own spiritual development.
