The Small Acts of Leadership Series

Could you use a little more initiative on your team? A little more accountability and engagement? Is everyone around you running flat-out and overwhelmed? That initiative, creativity and engaged work we’re looking for requires leadership from everyone.

Leadership is personal. It is an act of kindness. It is an action taken in the face of adversity. It is the simple act of lifting someone up when there’s no one else around. These are the small acts that make a big difference. This learning series isn’t simply micro-learning, it’s micro-practice. 

This Small Acts of Leadership Series includes 22 inspiring lessons, including the Small Acts of Kindness, Presence, Innovation, Confidence, Team Engagement, and Personal Mastery. Each course features interactive and engaging lessons designed to improve your leadership skills and enhance your personal and working relationships. After completing this series, you will learn how to adopt small, intentional behaviors and practice them each day to build your self-confidence. This will help you embrace challenges, become a stronger leader, and make a broader impact on the world.
