What is Leadership
in Practice?

This is a weekly class for Leaders who ‘in practice’ spend majority of their time having to lead meetings, coach bottom/top/middle performers and much more. Most of us have had little to no formal training/ rarely given any instruction in what takes 80-90% of our time. WFH (work from home), distributed workforces, who now have to manage dual spouses WFH, homeschooling children, while worrying about everyone’s health and safety…magnifies the leadership challenges and makes the job 10x harder.

leads to burnout
