Living the Work: Leadership Coaching from the Inside Out

Description: In this panel discussion, we seek to collapse the dichotomy inherent in the vision of work on one side of the scale and life on the other, replacing it with a model of fully, authentically living the work. Panelists speak to their own deep personal insights, ongoing struggles toward change, pure moments of grace--while moving toward a cohesion where all is fodder for learning, engagement, teaching, becoming.

Who Needs a Boss?

Description: Being stuck in the middle, managers are often the ordinary heroes who run the day-to-day business outside of the spotlight. The boss may offer more problems than solutions. Presenters will share practical insights in and coping strategies on how you can outperform your boss, lead them to higher levels of performance, and fulfill your own upward leadership potential.
