TRAININGS
It is not uncommon for organizations to have a specific topic or theme they are aiming to focus on internally. Lead Different currently offers a variety of unique training sessions that are ready to go and fall under the categories of our three lenses: Well-Being, Inclusion & Leadership. These can be selected as individual sessions or as a series of sessions. We have the ability to modify these sessions for specific needs. We also create content to accommodate custom sessions and development training programs.
