Anchor your leadership in adaptability

Being a leader involves facing numerous challenges, including disruptions, stress, and burnout. In order to thrive amidst change, leaders must reorient, stabilize, and take care of themselves. That’s why the practice of anchoring, or finding ways to steady ourselves amid demanding and unpredictable situations, is essential. In this webinar, we’ll explore practical and daily routines that you can use to fortify your leadership as you empower your organization to reach its full potential. Discover how to transform obstacles into opportunities by mastering the art of anchoring.
