LEADERSHIP PATH THROUGH BEEKEEPING
CULTIVATING YOUR PROMISE AS A LEADER
Before a leader can successfully engage in the hard work of leading others, they must fundamentally know themselves and what they stand for-their values, their guiding commitments, and their promise to those they lead. In this one-day session leaders are given the opportunity to enhance their self-awareness, further define their leadership identity, and deepen their capacity to lead oneself (a precursor to leading others)
What's a beekeeper got to do with this?
A good beekeeper is first and foremost an enabler of the natural capacity of their bees to do their good work. Grounded in that fundamental philosophy, each beekeeper has a unique promise they make to the hive- how they will interact and behave in a way that is aligned with their personal values and true to the hive's purpose.
