Part 2: The Self-Leadership Online Experience | A Conversation with DeAnna Murphy

This is Part 2 of a 3-part conversation. Listen to Part 1 here. A
few weeks ago, master coach/facilitator DeAnna Murphy presented at
our Gathering Saints women’s retreat and an idea was hatched! You
may know DeAnna from some of the remarkable interviews she has done
on the podcast. She will be leading an online intensive experience
for those interested in developing individually in order to be a
more-prepared leader in life. In this 3-part conversation, DeAnna
and Kurt talk about some of the concepts that will be covered in
this upcoming online experience that begins November 1st. This
special offering of the Self-Leadership Masterclass is a holistic
learning experience designed especially for followers of Leading
Saints—those who are the up-and-coming difference-makers, who have
a work to do and are looking for the leadership skills to help them
do it. This program involves interactive classroom and peer
coaching experiences, in addition to riveting online learning and
self-leadership projects to increase mastery of self and strengthen
self-leadership. This learning experience will help you and others
discover how to use strengths to be more interdependent, create a
more purposeful positive impact, and find greater joy at work and
in life. If you feel called to grow your leadership, you won’t want
to miss this opportunity to become more of your best self—and to
help others do the same! LEARN MORE HERE. Highlights 02:00 Kurt
