Ecology Water Resources Leadership Retreat Tools and Resources
The Invitation to Lead is one of the most important invitations you can say “Yes” to in your professional life. You each have accepted this invitation and in doing this, have discovered more invitations to explore, consider, and choose from. We hope the time of reflection and discovery in September of 2022 continues in the months ahead individually and collectively.
We encourage you to keep leaning into the invitations we shared with you:
The Invitation to Connect - keep connecting with yourself, each other and your team members.
The Invitation to a New Kind of Leadership - keep learning to practice creating more love and less fear in your teams.
The Invitation to Growth and Optimism - continuing to pursue understanding what your team members need now and how to meet them there.
The Invitation to Action with tools for Subtraction so you can say no to some things to say yes to other things, for Healthy Teams so you can cultivate well-being as part of your work for all, and for meeting any challenge with the Multifunction Tool!
And the Invitation to Choose because you always have a choice in how you meet each moment and lead forward!
Keep making work more loving and human,
