About This Event
Join West Valley Business Exchange on Thursday, August 27, for the second meeting in our six-session Book Mastermind discussion of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership by Jim Dethmer, Diana Chapman, and Kaley Klemp.
This free online discussion brings business owners, professionals, and curious readers together to explore practical ideas, exchange perspectives, and consider how the book’s lessons may apply in business and everyday life.
During this session, we will focus on Commitment 3: Feeling All Feelings and Commitment 4: Speaking Candidly. Together, we will explore how greater emotional awareness and more honest communication can influence leadership, decision-making, professional relationships, and the way we respond to challenges in everyday life.
