Event Overview
The Leader Within–Including an introduction to the Leader Development Framework, the whole person approach to leadership, and the power of identifying and aligning one’s personal strengths and values with organizational goals and activities.

Many people pursue leadership because they like the idea of being a leader. Leaders enjoy many privileges such as recognition, admiration from others, and influence decisions made and others, as examples. Leaders are associated with accomplishments – the outcomes at a fixed point in time. What can often go unnoticed or underappreciated is the hard work required to arrive at the accomplishment. The privileges enjoyed by a leader can be what attracts others to leadership. Once they become a leader, however, they soon realize that there is a big difference between the idea of being a leader and performing the actual work of a leader. This conference will teach participants how to develop a greater understanding of their “whole self” and how to improve results by better integrating each aspect of their being into everything they do.
