“We are not in a position in which we have nothing to work with. We already have capacities, talents, direction, missions, callings.” – Abraham Maslow
Our Leadership Training is based on the Partnership Model: Personal Power, Teambuilding, Mutual Respect, Mutual Support, Co-Creation and Higher Purpose. Virginia presents innovative methods to increase the personal & team motivation, trust, confidence, communication skills, conflict resolution, win/win solutions, success and transformational leadership.
