How You THINK Is As Important As What You KNOW As leaders, we are consistently asked to juggle demanding priorities, provide leadership for our teams and departments, and focus on our own well-being. The latest research in neuroscience and mindset have opened the doors to examine how our THINKING is a key tool in shaping our role as a leader. This session is aimed at providing personal and professional development for leaders.
