I can’t express how thrilled I am to invite you to the Enneagram for Evolving Leaders Training taking place on August 12-13 in Kansas City, MO. This is a 2-day, immersive experience designed to elevate self-awareness, boost internal motivation, encourage perspective-taking, enhance communication skills, and foster compassion. Self-awareness is an often-overlooked cornerstone of effective leadership, helping us improve our organizations and relationships by understanding our own motivations and behaviors more deeply. Participants will leave with a clearer sense of self, a deeper understanding of what they want from their workplace, and practical skills for creating successful interactions with others. If you are looking to: 🔥 Be a better leader 🔥 Feel understood and supported at work 🔥 Build a resilient team you can trust, 🔥 Increase your profit while having more fun 🔥 Bring more joy back into your workplace ... then you're not going to want to miss this. Register here: https://lnkd.in/g2CfG4vd Questions? Ask them in the comments, or shoot me a PM!
