Take Your Career to the Next Level with Leadership Circle |
|
I’m excited to share that I now offer the Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) as part of my executive and leadership development services.
The LCP is a powerful 360-degree assessment tool that empowers the shift necessary for true and lasting individual and team transformation.
What makes this assessment different is that it looks at both the "creative competencies" that drive business success and professional growth and the "reactive tendencies" that can hold us back. It also helps reveal the underlying beliefs behind our behaviors and presents everything in an easy-to-understand, visual way.
If you're ready to take your leadership, and your career, to the next level, let's talk about how LCP can improve outcomes for you, your team, and your organization. |

| | I can’t say with certainty that I made the right choice. Some days are still hard. But it feels right. Like this is what I’m meant to do. Like all of that time I spent chasing that unreachable dream has prepared me for a dream I never knew I wanted. One where I can live and work with purpose, and contribute to my community in my own unique way.
I am the proudest monkey. |

| | Why we should be paying attention to what’s happening in Akron, Ohio |
|
What do you get when you bring together 165 residents of a single city, each randomly selected to reflect the demographics of their community, every member of city council, the mayor, an engaged community “super assembly”, 15 professional facilitators, and an organization dedicated to better public problem-solving?
You get actionable, real-world answers to tough community problems like housing. |
