An interactive session that will invite you to expand your current understanding of what constitutes leadership, learning and effectiveness.  We will discuss the importance of everyday junctures that invite us to step into the best versions of ourselves and our leadership impact.  Together, we will lean into our collective wisdom around how we can best align our leadership intentions with our micro-moments of impact.
 
We will also discuss the importance of uncovering the “why of learning” - that is, the naming of personal values and aspirations for impact.  And we won’t stop at the individual level; we will also examine the interpersonal dynamics of effectiveness, recognizing that “it takes two (or more!) to truly know one”.  We will explore the role and importance of learning communities in the work of getting better at getting better, and hopefully experience the richness of such a community while in session together.

Participants will leave this session with:

• an expanded understanding of leadership and the art of getting better at getting better, as a benefit to both themselves and their clients.
• an increased curiosity around their everyday impact and view the input of others as a crucial component to their development.
• capacity around the importance of building learning communities as a foundational everyday leadership skill.
