In the Heart of Leadership, we will use the Five Strategies of The Virtues Project to create a workplace of connection, excellence, and inspiration. We will provide tools to transform your corporate culture into one of deeply purposeful, united, and enthusiastic employees and leaders. By participating in The Heart of Leadership, you will develop skills to:

• Bring out the best in yourself and your team
• Develop ‘virtues’ personally & professionally
• Harness the energy and enthusiasm of your team
• Develop a culture of appreciation
• Strengthen team communications and unity

Every mission statement contains a promise of virtues such as honesty, service, and excellence. A Virtues-based organization brings that promise to life. We will also discuss how to create the Virtues triple bottom line in your corporation: a workplace that uplifts people, profit, and planet.

“These times require exceptional leadership….leaders who respect and value people as human beings, trusted leaders that walk the talk and do so with conviction and integrity.”
