Facilitated by Rebecca Ryan, APF.
This workshop is part of a four-part series designed for leaders and managers who are ready to take the leap: to question their pre-pandemic assumptions and values, imagine a more sustainable and just future, and build the processes, teams, and innovations to bridge the gap.
