Shambhala Sunday Gathering—Authentic Leadership for Challenging Times

Sunday Gatherings are LIVE every week at 3:00 p.m. EST

Donations are welcome!

Authentic Leadership encourages us to bring ourselves fully and creatively to our leadership challenges, and to invite others to do the same. By expanding self-awareness and skill, we become more responsive, rather than reactive, in challenging situations. This cultivates connection and compassion which inspires and motivates others. We can then begin to lead the changes we want to see in our teams, organizations and communities in an empowered and collaborative way. Participants will learn the three essential competencies of Authentic Leadership and explore how to apply them effectively in their communities and workplaces.
