At MARKO Advance & Reservoir, we envision a world where organizations are built to last, with robust institutional strength and resilience. These organizations deliver a diversity of long-term impacts: financial benefits, societal benefits, and environmental benefits. And most of all, they regard their most important product to be the people of the organization. In this workshop, you will learn to lead with radical self-awareness and to build strength to lead at every level or your organization.
Building a resilient organization begins with leaders who focus on their own self-awareness first. All the other leadership skills, while important, amount to nothing unless the leader knows their own mind, understands how their attention and thinking is being influenced by their inner thoughts and assumptions and can pivot to leading from their Essential Self. In this workshop, you will learn how to “change your mind” from a fearful, frustrated experience of being to a leader’s deep sense of self.
This workshop is designed for leaders at all levels of their career journey, from those anticipating their first leadership role to those preparing to turn the company controls over to the next generation of committed, courageous leadership.
