Leadership Forum | Virtual
Guests $30
Join Us for the Next Leadership Forum: Time Tactician
Where does your time go? Are you a list-maker with an overflowing inbox? An in-demand team player pulled into every meeting with little time to do your own work? Or a rockstar implementer aiming for the next step?
Time is the one resource we can’t create… or can we?
In the Time Tactician workshop, you’ll discover simple but powerful tools to make time work for you instead of the other way around. You’ll walk away with:
A new perspective on time. Use Grace, Pace, and Space (GPS) to shift from “always busy” toward intentional choices about energy and focus.
A clear system for sorting what matters. Apply the Eisenhower Matrix to separate urgent from important, eliminate distractions, and make better decisions about where to spend your effort.
You’ll leave with practical strategies and a personal action plan you can start using immediately to create more focus, breathing room, and impact in your week.

WtoWN Virtual Series | Understanding Differences
Returning Guests: $35
We all work with people whose personalities or approaches drive us a little crazy, and after years of hybrid and remote work, many teams are now relearning how to collaborate face-to-face. This session helps leaders and team members alike to understand, leverage, and appreciate different workstyles and tendencies within their team (including introversion, generational differences, and more).
Participants will explore how to bring out the best in others, recognize potential bias when assessing talent, and learn strategies for handling those irritating differences. The result? Teams that function with more trust and greater productivity.
Key Takeaways:
- Specific ways to bring out everyone's best in a group, and individually
- Do's and Don'ts when assessing talent
- What to do if someone "bugs" you at work, even if it's your boss!
