REAL Leadership Lab

Leadership skills are important in the workplace, but why stop there? The REAL Leadership Lab is for local professionals who want to use their leadership skills to benefit the most important people and causes in all areas of their lives.

Using the Total Leadership Model, participants explore how their professionals goals and skills can be integrated across the four primary domains of life -  - Work, Home, Community, and Self. Through reflection, experimentation, and peer coaching, they design and test leadership behaviors that have a Relevant, Engaging, Actionable, and Lasting impact on the things and people that matter most in their lives.
