THE CHAMPION'S JOURNEY

P.A.U.S.E. for Community:

Champion Self-Leadership for Community Transformation

Join us for year long, advanced, immersive small cohort experience to cultivate your capacity to serve as a Self-Leadership Collaborative Champion in your school, organization or community.

Who is this for?

You’ve completed the Essential P.A.U.S.E. for Everyday Self-Leadership and you realized the transformative power of P.A.U.S.E. in your own life. You are naturally an ambassador, applying P.A.U.S.E implicitly and maybe even explicitly in your day, in your role.

And, you wish to offer more. You see the great need in your community amongst young people and adults alike. You want to dive into your own study and practice of P.A.U.S.E. as a holistic framework for community well-being. You want to discover how you can serve as Champion Self-Leadership in your role- in the subtleties of daily relationships, in the proactive approach to well-being for all, in the structures of organization and community life. Whether you are educators, administrators, school mental health practitioners, parents, coaches or community leader, you are ready to join us for the Champions journey.
