These four 75-minute sessions are part of our Knowing Head, Heart, and Gut live learning community with Rebekah Demirel. Region 10 supervisors/leaders were notified of this opportunity via a digital mailing.
Leading and supervising people draws on many skills, including the ability to make wise, critical decisions which can empower individuals, shed light on outdated policies, improve workplace culture, and facilitate societal change.
We may have to think on our feet and choose what seems best when deadlines are looming, but is it also possible to make quick and crucial choices which come from a solid sense of awareness and confidence?
Knowing Head, Heart, and Gut is an inspiring, interactive learning community for those in supervisory and leadership roles. We will use a trauma-informed approach to survey intellect, emotions, and gut instincts and examine how our thoughts, emotions, and life experiences inform the ways we supervise and lead others.
These interactive sessions feature discussions with the whole group and in breakout sessions; please be on camera and able to talk during sessions. Please plan to attend all sessions as learning builds and space is limited.
