Description
Are you a visionary leader passionate about developing potential beyond numbers and strategies? Is it important for you to cultivate an awareness and a presence that inspires vitality? Do you sometimes feel alone in your intentions and actions?
The goal of the Conscious Leadership Retreat is to bring together a community of key players within Quebec society to highlight our perspectives and develop collective intentions in the service of the health of our organizations.
