Workshop: The Leader Within Sponsored by 

The manner in which I conduct myself has an impact on how others feel about themselves. - Christine McLeod

Examine the definitions of Leadership and learn three skills you can start using right away to have that kind of impact on those around you. Leadership is not about the title on your business card, it's about the manner in which you show up… At work, at home and at play. 

Families, organizations, businesses, governments and associations that develop leadership at all levels have greater degree of engagement within them… And yield better results. Join Christine for a workshop that will help you think and act differently when it comes to the leadership… Within you.
