The Grounded Leader: Reconnecting to Your People and Purpose

Leaders have spent the last few years bouncing from one external disruptor to the next, while simultaneously carrying the emotional weight for their teams, organizations and members. With fewer staff to execute strategy, more leaders have taken their focus off of their strategic role and into that of their team. This “heads down” approach has put leaders back into task minutia and firefighting, at the unintentional expense of strategy, vision, culture, connection, team performance, and increased executive burnout. Learn how to move out of the minutia and chaos to reconnect to your needed leadership role with a three-step process to rediscover your purpose, reframe challenges, and re-engage with your people. Leave equipped with the tools needed to authentically re-connect with your teams to improve organizational culture performance and profit – while feeling more fulfilled.
