Dear Friends,
January is a good time to set your professional development goals for the year, whether it is taking a workshop, joining an intensive training, or finding an inspiring mentor. Leading with Spirit is offering some familiar opportunities and some new ones.
Consider joining us in our Art of Administration Leadership Courses next summer - in person on Whidbey Island, WA, in Freeport, Maine and also online. Registration will begin in January.
In these times of great inner and outer disruption, we encourage you to continue your inner practices and seek others to speak with to find the insights and courage you need for this important work.
