Leadership Development
Gratitude as a Leadership Skill in Family Business - In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we’ll analyze how gratitude can be used as a leadership skill – not just for November, but throughout the year. This interactive program will support new and creative ways to use gratitude in your leadership approach as well as offer time for reflection to support bringing gratitude into your office that day.
Leadership Development
Celebrating Your Successes - Being a great leader in your family business is a journey, not a destination. As we close out the 2025 calendar year, we will take inventory of your year – celebrating what worked, celebrating what didn’t, and laying the groundwork for a fruitful 2026 to follow.
