Leadership Development

Leadership Development means committing to grow oneself as a leader to be able to grow and sustain a healthy system. This journey involves working both within oneself and in relationships with others. We discover who we are as leaders through practice, feedback, and in community.

I believe that leaders should be able to grow and learn through the process of Safe Growth.

  • Safe Growth is being allowed to make mistakes and be in learning mode.

  • Safe Growth feels exciting and intentional.

  • Safe Growth doesn’t feel like obligation to solve problems that are outside of your reach or being called upon to overfunction in response to a dysfunctional system.
