Primal Leadership for Modern Times
Corporate Programs
Single or Multi-Day for Organizations
5 Things Wolves Teach Us
* Resilience: the ability to remain calm and centered under pressure
* Capacity: The ability to emotionally and psychologically hold yourself, your team, and those around you.
* Adaptability: The ability to read the environment, identify what is needed, and meet the circumstances eye to eye.
* Emotional Maturity: Being able to process emotion with depth and integrity no matter what.
* To play full on: Wolves don’t engage half way, they show up passionately and decisively.
Wolf Connection’s Primal Leadership for Modern Times program is about connecting with the power of the wolf pack and leading participants through a process of personal awareness and collective exploration of their interpersonal work dynamics. The wolves and natural environment support team members to slow down and experience connection to self and others. Participants will explore their authentic natural leadership roles and learn innovative methods to truly see, hear and support each other. Ultimately, the program is an invitation to identify and create the trust and understanding needed to transform your team into a powerful pack. The approach of a wolf—subtle, almost in slow motion, confident, and decisive, seeking connection on her or his own terms—can stretch time, open the heart, and awaken the soul.
