Two experienced business leaders have teamed up to create and offer a unique leadership program called “Lead & Thrive,” which will be offered over three months this fall.
“Lead & Thrive” is the creation of Jacquie Collins, Partnering for Performance; and Stacey Shipman, Shipman Communications. The sessions will be held at Lombardo’s in Randolph. Attendees will gain the tools to:
- Boost clarity and focus
- Handle stress and challenges with more ease
- Have a clear vision/mission
- Strengthen business relationships
- Enhance listening skills and emotional intelligence
- Communicate more effectively
- Increase influence and buy-in
- Put the right people in place so you can take time off with less stress
- Enjoy your business and life more!
Lead & Thrive focuses on three key areas to growth: Leading yourself, leading others, and leading a business. The three sessions will include areas such as Communication skills, Business strategy, Team & people development, Relationship building & influencing skills, Creative thinking and problem solving,
Mindset and confidence, Emotional intelligence and more.
“Before you can lead others, you must first learn to lead yourself,” said Collins. “Relationships matter, and your business matters,” added Shipman, saying, “This is the premise of what we will offer.” She continued,” It’s important for leaders to have a place to share challenges and ideas. We have talked with clients, who have said that leadership can feel lonely and this program can definitely help that!”
The events will take place October 3, November 7 and December 5, at Lombardo’s in Randolph. The sessions will run from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. in October and November, and 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. in December. There will be a full breakfast at each session, and there will be activities in between the three sessions. The founders are promoting the event as a three-month experience, more than just three separate events. Space is limited to 50 for-profit and not-for-profit professionals. The fee for the program is $599 per person. To register for the event, please visit https://www.staceyshipman.com/events/lead-thrive-mastermind-fall-2018/.
“We will have exciting announcements as the program gets closer,” said Collins. “We encourage people to contact us to learn more as we develop and plan for the fall programs.”
