Mastering the Art of Self-Directed Leadership with Jonathan Ettie (2 PDUs)

Do you have a clear sense of direction and purpose in your life? Are you setting meaningful goals and actively working towards them with a personal action plan? If you’re looking to take charge of your journey and lead yourself with confidence, tonight’s workshop is for you.

We’re thrilled to have Jonathan Ettie with us, who will guide us through the concept of self-directed leadership. Together, we’ll explore what it means to be a self-directed leader, define clear goals, and develop actionable steps to achieve them. This isn’t just about learning; it’s about equipping yourself with the tools and mindset to take
ownership of your growth and success.

Please join me in giving a warm welcome to Jonathan Ettie as he leads us in his workshop: “Lead Yourself First: Mastering the Art of Self-Directed Leadership.”
