communicating with impact

Improve your ability to think quickly, speak fluidly, and write clearly under short deadlines. Engage in rapid-fire "talking on your feet" and "writing to deadline" exercises connecting thinking skills with verbal and written expression for greater confidence in your communication proficiency. The focus is on brevity, clarity and impact, finding the voice and style that is most unique and effective for you in both spoken and written communications.

balanced leadership: embracing passion and conquering fear
In collaboration with Hollyhock
Friday, April 27, 2012
Life presents us with three archetypal journeys: to take up our power, to use our power well with others, or to release our power for the greater good. As well, these journeys have both a feminine and masculine path, one driving toward passion, the other away from fear. Understanding and attending to these archetypal energies can fundamentally impact people and organizations. As a leader, learn to understand these paths to transform yourself and those you work with.
