EDUCATION:
It’s easy to fall behind and lose your way. It’s not going to get any easier.
But what would be possible for you, your organization and your community if you could learn to thrive in this kind of chaos? And what if you could learn this, affordably, right here in Central Wisconsin?
The 2016-2017 Leadership Excellence session will lead participants down the road to success, achievement and goal fulfillment. It is an interactive leadership program designed to develop your professional and personal self, based on your strengths.
“I highly recommend any aspiring business person to attend regardless of age or level of education.
Leadership Excellence is an energizing class that forces you to view things in a different perspective. It tests not only what you think makes an effective leader, but more prevalently focuses on self-awareness and its’ role in leadership.”
