We live in a time of danger and opportunity.  This series will utilize the principles of Adaptive Leadership pioneered by Ron Heifetz to provide tools for leading during this unprecedented time of change.  Most organizations, no matter which sector, are facing disruptions unlike any experienced before.  People are being called to lead with courage and skill to navigate change and deploy themselves with agility while leading others into the unknown.  This series will provide practical tools that your leaders can employ in their workplace.  Our trainers will focus on skills like resilience, orchestrating conflict, evaluation and diagnosis, emotional intelligence, and creativity.
