Thank you for a Great Event!
Join us for "Rise to Greatness!" - a transformative community outreach event designed to uncover the profound impact of TRUTH in our leadership and personal lives (hybrid event with limited 'live' seating and a virtual option). Two lively, engaging sessions will offer attendees a dual experience, each part promising to enrich your understanding and application of core principles that drive authentic leadership:
- Dynamic Panel Discussion:
"Using TRUTH to LEAD Your LIFE"
Dive into a lively debate on the nature of TRUTH, featuring four esteemed professionals—a psychiatrist, a professor, a teacher and a lawyer. Each will share their unique insights, shaping an intriguing narrative on how TRUTH can be recognized and harnessed to guide our decisions and actions. - Interactive Primer Session: “Know Thyself: How the Four Temperaments Can Help”
A large part of relating to and working with others is first getting to know yourself, and a key to unlocking this mystery is understanding the Four Temperaments (and learning your own). You'll discover valuable strategies and tools to transform these insights, along with the concept of TRUTH, into powerful levers for leading and living a life filled with more joy, abundance, and positivity.
