Description:

There is a crisis of confidence in leadership felt all around the globe today. How can you positively impact this crisis with your leadership as your natural self-expression? And what IS your leadership as your natural self-expression? And how do you access your full potential as a leader? The class will be run as a "laboratory" where you get to discover yourself as a leader and your leadership as your natural self- expression.

Explores leader and leadership as one’s natural self-expression through the ontological/phenomenological model in which ontology is the study or science of the nature and function of being (as in “being a leader”), and phenomenology is the method of direct access used to study and research the nature and function of being (as in being’s impact on “exercising leadership effectively”). Introduces a new conversational domain and transformative learning paradigm for leadership. Encourages discovery through discussion, exercises, and assignments. Prepares students to develop the skills necessary to create positive, effective, and sustainable change.
