Join us for a discussion with Dr. Annabel Beerel on the topic of courage and leadership in times of radical uncertainty. As we navigate a world where the old normal is gone and the new normal has yet to emerge, this seminar offers an opportunity to explore how courageous leadership can guide us through these challenging times.
In this two-hour seminar, Dr. Beerel will explore the complexities of transition, examining what it truly means to lead with courage and how we can cultivate this vital trait in ourselves and others.
Pre-reading and reflection questions will be provided in advance to help you prepare for this thought-provoking discussion. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Light hors d'oeuvres will be served.
