During these economic times, strong and balanced leadership is essential.  To be effective leaders, we must access four different kinds of energies to motivate, inspire, vision and lead.  Please join Michelle Prosser, an executive coach, team builder and author, as she speaks about the four types of leadership that every leader needs to have in balance.  Michelle uses cultural archetypes to help clients stretch into a new place of leadership and to address weaknesses.  You will learn to identify where you are strong and where you need to stretch.
