• SESSION ONE – Tuesday, Sept. 29

• SESSION TWO – Tuesday, Oct. 20
  In this session, participants will continue to explore the leadership foundation of Trust. Leaders build trust through character, competence and connection. These three disciplines will be examined in detail.
• SESSION THREE – Tuesday, Nov. 24
  In the final session, participants will move from the foundation of trust, and focus on achieving results. Leaders achieve results through clarity, accountability and support.
