About
The Humanizing Leadership Lab is designed for leaders looking to cultivate the human side of leadership. Many leaders are promoted for their technical expertise, but leadership requires a unique skill set—one rooted in guiding others to success, fostering trust, and creating a positive team environment.
This six-session series bridges that gap, helping leaders develop the essential skills of self-awareness, self-management, and self-improvement. By building trustworthy, authentic relationships with their teams, leaders will inspire purpose-driven growth both in their own careers and within their teams.
“Leaders are responsible for up to 70% of team member engagement, and genuine relationships are key to achieving this.” Gallup
