Twice a month, we take 30 minutes to connect leaders to Admired Leadership content and our Admired Leadership coaches.
These sessions are specifically tailored for leaders who are craving universal, simple and actionable leadership content. Participants will leave the session with an understanding of Admired Leadership’s behavioral approach as well as valuable insights to implement immediately.
No slides, no frameworks, no psychometrics. This is a chance to sit in on a conversation with an expert in leadership and learn something that most people don’t know.
