Does any of this resonate?

You're frustrated by relationships at work

Your leader is a micromanager. A peer takes credit for your work. A collaborator routinely lets you down. These interactions leave you drained, at best, and triggered at worst. How do you retain your personal power so that you can reshape these relationships and work more joyfully?

You're afraid of being wrong and embarrassing yourself in front of others.

You often feel like an imposter, so you over-function and over prepare. You've noticed your fear of failure is sabotaging your wellbeing. How do you let go of perfectionism and develop the courage to experiment and learn?

You're ready to have a greater impact.

You're an expert at running your business unit and leading your team, yet when it comes to driving an agenda across the enterprise, you falter or procrastinate. How do you engage with organizational politics authentically and effectively to advance your agenda?

It's Your Time To Grow
