Loss is a universal experience, and grief is a natural response to any significant loss that affects you mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, professionally, socially, financially, or environmentally.

If you're struggling with loss of any kind (past or present)—such as a death, relationship estrangement, serious illness or injury, job loss, financial loss, loss of identity, loss of autonomy, violence, cultural or racial trauma, lost opportunity, institutional loss, terrorism, war, natural or manmade disaster, or other loss—this 90-day group intensive is for you.

The ability to influence is a key asset for progressive leaders and a critical skill in virtually every sector or industry, especially during difficult times.

Learn how to confidently and effectively navigate changing conditions by cultivating your leadership capabilities to influence the emotions, attitudes, opinions, behaviors, and actions of others by using three (3) types of influence and adhering to seven (7) core principles to set organizational tone and direction, instill a sense of calm, focus on the big picture, motivate stakeholders, and prompt action during uncertain and turbulent times.

A functional workplace requires accountability, which is a factor that directly impacts people, productivity and performance. Examining accountability through multiple lenses, we explore the true meaning of accountability and outline practical steps for integrating its principles to promote individual, group and organizational effectiveness and success.
