2019 WIN Impact Retreat: Exploring Authenticity and Servant Leadership
Saturday, June 29, 2019 from 9:30am-4pm

But it can be challenging to recognize when and how we're showing up as leaders, and to engage in the self-development needed to magnify our impact. Join WIN at a day-long retreat to explore these concepts! Through discussion, individual work, and group activities, you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on your personal leadership journey and gain insight into how your unique experiences have shaped your leadership mindset. Building on this self-discovery, we’ll talk about how embracing our authentic leadership makes us more effective in leading and serving others. We’ll end the retreat with an interactive group session that will provide inspiration and support as we begin to apply the lessons of authenticity and servant leadership in our daily lives.
