Being your Best to Give your Best

This program is perfect for:

Can be focused for Management and Leadership

The audience will leave with:

You cannot give what you do not have. You have to invest in yourself before you can invest in others.
Everything worth having requires learning and application.
Leadership is a Skill.

Being your "Best to Give your Best," comes from many life experiences of being a leader of teams of volunteers to managing multiple lines of business. John Maxwell said it changed his life (and has changed mine too) when he was asked about his personal growth plan, and he did not have one. To many of travel through life just taking what comes to us. We struggle and even get burned out because our tanks are empty. When our tanks are overflowing we are able to Live our Best and Give our Best.
