Three-Day
Values-Based® Leadership Workshop

This customized workshop will give you direct experience of the foundation skills of Values-Based® Leadership (VBL). In a retreat setting, Dr. Kelly Gerling will guide you and your group through learning experiences that will acknowledge and affirm what you already do well, and then bring out more of your capabilities for leading. The process involves a series of challenging and fun learning experiences. They include structured exercises, values discussions and team building activities.

You'll explore a vision of the future of your organization that comes from your people themselves. You'll create a learning community by bringing about a fun atmosphere. You'll explore the inner thinking skills of great leaders. You'll practice specific strategies for leading in important business situations. And you'll learn how to fully live personal and organizational values. The end result is the development of enhanced leadership intelligence for each participant and the group.
