Upcoming Event

New Year Reset for Your Mindset

Welcome to January, the month when your brain tells you that you have to set a million goals for the upcoming year. However, this mindset can be detrimental because the goals may not align with what you truly want in life.

Let’s spend time in the next LEAP Connect dismantling the rigid “have to” thinking so you can adopt a fluid mindset that fosters a sense of well-being and happiness.

Through a mix of insights and a guided self-reflection exercise, you’ll identify your limiting beliefs and create adaptable alternatives. This way, you'll leave with practical tools to thrive in today’s unpredictable world.

LEAP Connect leadership workshops are free, accessible to the public, and are intended to bring a safe space to the community. Participants can walk away from the sessions with the tools and resources necessary to increase their leadership skills and inspire change.
