Leaders exemplify strength, courage, empathy, vulnerability, and resilience. Leaders Rise with Excellence, they lead by example, and inspire those around them to rise to excellence in all they do. It starts with YOU - how you show up for yourself in your life dictates how you show up for your teams. To Lead with Influence means developing the habit of being intentional. Using practices that are grounded in neuroscience and positive psychology, these life practices are simple, enjoyable, and produce evidence based results. Leaders can become positive influencers by applying the PERMA-H culture model and create an environment for their teams and business to flourish.
