Description

Self-leadership is essential to personal wellbeing and leadership effectiveness - whether you are called to be a responsive leader in your workplace, community, or family. At the Bakken Center, we describe self-leadership as an intentional alignment between your values and your daily actions and behaviors that can lead to enhanced personal wellbeing and effectiveness in all areas of life. At its core, it involves increasing our capacity for self-awareness, self-care, emotional resilience, and self-efficacy. It also acknowledges the powerful ripple effect that self-leadership and good self-care can have on our relationships with others, whether at work, at home, or in our larger communities.

In this four-part online series, designed for those in either informal or formal leadership roles or aspiring leaders, you will learn practical and proven approaches for building your resilience and self-leadership competencies, from the inside out. Each interactive session will include informative presentations, experiential exercises, personal reflections, and easy-to-apply tips designed to increase your skills and confidence as you support and lead others.

Sliding Scale Pricing
The Earl E. Bakken Center for Spirituality & Healing is deeply committed to the wellbeing and flourishing of all communities. In order to make our programming accessible to a broader audience, we have implemented a sliding scale fee structure for these online series.

The registration fee for this four-part series is $60. We also offer a scholarship rate ($40) and supporter rate ($80) for those who would like to support others attending at the scholarship rate.
