Session Two
Session Description
In last week’s session, we worked on self-awareness – where you came from and how that affects the way you lead. In this session we’re going to keep the focus on you, your values, your strengths, and your motives. What qualities do you value in others? What makes you come alive? What are you pre-disposed to do? Ultimately, we will work on applying the skills of leadership to the task of managing ourselves.
