Module 3: Emotional Literacy (May 6 - June 30)
Emotions are a powerful language. Gain an understanding of six core emotions and how to work with them in a functional way.
Module 4: Relational Leadership (July 1 - September 8)
Relationships are the ultimate markers of our health and happiness. Learn about the primary blocks to relational leadership and develop critical skills for improving yours.
Module 5: Integration (September 9 - 29)
Bringing it all together. Evaluate your progress, acknowledge your wins, and set a plan for continued growth.
Live Call Schedule
