How to select a consultant

Through the research Jann Freed did for her upcoming book, Leading with Wisdom: Sage Advice from 100 Experts, Jann shows us how great leaders connect with empathy and compassion. This includes learning how to cope with death, loss, and grief.  It also includes understanding life's transitions.  This requires learning to "let go" and "leaning into fear."  But how do leaders learn these skills and practices?
In this webcast, participants will engage in several exercises designed to learn these skills. 
• We will go through a visualization exercise called "Metaphor of the Surviving Children" to learn what it feels like to be laid off or to be a survivor of a layoff. 
• We will write our own eulogy and talk about how this brings compassion and empathy into a clear focus.
• We will script our last moments on Earth to remind us that now is the only time we really have.  So we must be our best person/leader now.
• We will make our bucket list as a reminder of how our most valuable and democratic resource is time.
• We will discuss the power of rituals and identify some rituals that can enhance our ability to lead and to live by celebrating "letting go."
• We will explore how the way to get over fear is to "lean into it." 
 
And in doing so understand how to be better, more effective leaders!
