We all have experienced times when we have shown up as the best versions of ourselves. Extraordinary leaders are aware of these moments and able to bring their Best Self with them even in the most challenging situations. They are, in turn, able to create an environment of psychological safety that allows others to bring their best selves forward as well. 

In this 2-hour virtual session we will explore the concept of the Best Self and practice story sharing to discover our own keys to being extraordinary. We will guide participants into discovering their unique sense of purpose and ways to connect authentically with others. 

We will work on the following concepts and skills:

- Recalling and sharing a Best Self Moment

- Demonstrating understanding and inquiry skills
