In this thought-provoking and inspiring workshop, Denise will entreat us to recognize, appreciate, and invoke the powers and potential that lies within each of us to be the change we wish to see in our workplaces, our homes, in our larger communities, and in the lives of the individuals we serve. Beginning with a re-envisioning and a re-defining of "Leadership", Denise will give us a new understanding of what it means to take a leadership stance, make a leadership choice, or maintain a leadership mindset in our day to day lives.
