We interrupt the elephant to bring you this special event!! If you’d like some time for reflection and rejuvenation with a small group, you are most welcome to join a virtual retreat, Reframing Resilience, Renewing Leadership. Reclaim joy and meaning with courage, exploring in a Circle of Trust® how to weave your life’s threads into life and work as 2021 unfolds.⁠
