description:
A compassionate and authentic approach to leadership—whether it be in the context of the workplace, community group, or grassroots cause—is key to building resilience in those we are leading. Through expressive arts practices, along with the CliftonStrengths® for Leaders Assessment, we’ll support our own well-being while creatively exploring the blind spots of our current leadership approach. Using a self-care lens, we’ll come away with new intentions and goals based on our insights—and a practical understanding of how to apply our strengths so they can contribute to, and not interfere with, our success.

Refund Policy
In order to keep our programs affordable yet self-sustaining, we regret that we are unable to offer refunds for cancellation; however, we are happy to provide you with credit good for one year from the date of the program toward the next offering of the same program or a different one. Credit applied toward a program with higher registration fees will require payment of the balance. In addition, credit may be applied toward purchase of curriculum materials for any program. Unused fees after one year would then be tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law because no goods or services would have been received for them.
