Each section deepens your ability to lead in new situations: First, you will learn how to resource yourself by understanding who you are at your core - from your fear, to your self-sabotaging behavior, to your personal leadership vision and purpose. Then we will look at how you lead from and with others: The skills of deep listening and curiosity, conflict resolution, boundary setting, and trust-building. And finally we will look at how you make a bigger impact on the world, the people and organizations you lead: Leading to inspire teams, navigating burnout, switch to be situationally adaptive, asking for help, and inspire others to move towards a bigger vision.

All of these skills help you lead through uncharted waters and unknown territory with energy and confidence.
