Elevation Nation

It was a big couple of days for Sam and Parker. On Friday, Parker and Sam travelled to Philadelphia, PA to conduct two hour-long workshops with students at Youth Build Philly, a charter school on a mission to empower young adults (17-20 years old) to develop skills and connect to opportunities by fostering an environment of love, support and respect for their whole person.

Then on Sunday, Parker ran the New York City marathon and recalls having a roller coaster of an experience.

We are hosting an Elevation Nation first with a workshop called How To Get Out of the Weeds  with leadership coach Chase Damiano. The workshop is virtual on Thursday, November 9 at 6pm EST.

A little more about the workshop:

Is your day chaotic and reactive? Are you in a high-pressure team environment? Do you long for a culture of autonomy?

​You're in the right place.

​We want to see team leaders focus on growth, delegate more, communicate better, and lead with confidence (and, work the hours they want.)

​Here's what we'll cover in this workshop:

• ​An accountability framework to create team outcomes and develop talent in a human-centered way
• ​A team meeting agenda to increase engagement and cultivate buy-in
• ​A time management strategy to maximize energy and effectiveness

Our days are filled with a ton of silence. But oftentimes we spend that silence looking for ways to fill it with stimulation. However, silence can be spun in a different way. How can we use it to our advantage, if possible at all?
