In a world of constant external connection, we've lost touch with the most important connection of all: the one within ourselves. This free seminar explores how our unexamined shadow (the parts of ourselves we've hidden, denied, or rejected) shows up in workplace dynamics, especially during times of change and uncertainty.
When we don't understand our shadow, we unconsciously project our fears, wounds, and unresolved pain onto our teams, our decisions, and our leadership. We react instead of responding. We control instead of collaborating. We lead from ego instead of authenticity.
Drawing from 21 years of recovery work and shadow integration, Rachel Zipsie guides participants through understanding how the inner work of recovery applies directly to leadership. Just as we can't heal what we don't acknowledge in our personal lives, we can't lead effectively when we're disconnected from our whole selves.

This session introduces practical approaches to recognizing shadow patterns at work, leading with grace during difficult transitions, and cultivating the self-awareness that creates genuinely compassionate, connected leadership. Because the future doesn't need more bosses. It needs leaders who've done their inner work and can hold space for others to do theirs.

Perfect for anyone in leadership (formal or informal) who senses that sustainable change starts from within.
