And 2 awesome book give-aways!
(see details below)

With Seth Kahan, author, speaker, consultant and founder of VisionaryLeadership.com

RSVP requested to Michelle@CreativeEmergence.com

Visionary leadership is about more than having a great idea, it is about engaging the right people in the right ways to create the traction, buy-in, and enthusiastic engagement that leads to success. In this interactive, hands-on workshop, we will explore five ways visionary leaders create success for big ideas, and apply them to you and your work. The five ways are:

1. Capturing your idea in a compelling, easy-to-communicate statement
2. Identifying your Most Valuable Players, the people who can make or break your vision
3. Mapping the territory of change through strategic story-listening
4. Creating communities that accelerate the evolution of your idea
5. Generating dramatic surges in progress through strategic events

Come engage your creativity as you learn in this dynamic, content-rich session!
