Explore the Power of Love as a conscious, everyday practice and a foundation for leadership.
Starts March 20
In these times of great challenges and uncertainty, love can be an anchor that grounds us, the courage that moves us forward, and the connection that unites us. This training is an invitation to explore the Power of Love as a conscious, everyday practice and a foundation for leadership. Develop ways to keep your heart open in all of life’s conditions and be more empowered as an instrument of love in your work, family, and community.
Specific lessons include:
Practices to deeply connect with your source of love
Cultivating self-compassion
Expressing love through action
Leadership and the transformative power of love
Experiencing the reality of interdependence
How to deal skillfully with self-critical voices
What Is A Self-Guided Training?
Rockwood’s self-guided trainings are a unique way to delve into individual leadership practices. Instead of attending a training on a set day and time, you’ll receive daily emails and text reminders that will allow you to reflect on that day’s theme at your own pace and on your own time. Maybe you review the practice first thing in the morning, or look at it before bed. Maybe you read the email over lunch or while waiting to pick up your child at school. Wherever you decide to connect with the practice, you’re in charge of when you engage with it and how much time you put into it.
If you prefer more interpersonal connection, consider signing up to be matched with a learning partner. Every week, you and your learning partner will meet for 20 minutes to talk through that week’s topics and share your learnings with each other. You’ll also have the option to engage with others going through the training via an online community where you can post questions, share thoughts, and see how others are putting this practice into action in their own lives.
This program includes:
Daily Email Practices
26 daily email skill-building practices spread out over 5 weeks
Self-Assessment
Pre- and post-training self-assessment to track your growth
Learning Partners
Optional opportunity to take the journey with a learning partner and group list-serv to share learnings
