Leadercamps and Live Events
Don't miss our upcoming Leadercamp, The Power of Nonverbal Communication featuring Jennifer Nash on October 25th at 1 PM EST.
We communicate through words, tones, gestures, movement, and expressions. However, research suggests that a significant percentage of communication occurs nonverbally. Therefore, strengthening non-verbal communication capabilities may have a positive impact on your life, leadership, and career.
In this Leadercamp, Jennifer Nash reveals the secret to decoding nonverbal facial expressions.
Then on November 9th at 12PM EST, we conclude our Live Events program for the year with Katy Milkman on How to Change: Adapting for a Post-Pandemic World.
Based on her best-selling book, How to Change: The Science of Getting From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be,
Katy Milkman presents a science-based blueprint which explains why timing can be everything when it comes to making a change, or how to turn temptation and inertia into assets that can help you conquer your goals.
In this Live Event, Katy Milkman explains how to address the obstacles that stand between you and real change.
