Transforming the Journey: the Hero Archetype and Your Leadership Development

Description: The purpose of this workshop is to use the stages of the hero’s journey as a lens for personal leadership development. This session will begin with a brief presentation exploring contemporary archetypal theory to expand a foundational leadership narrative, the hero's journey, as a transformational tool in an increasingly multicultural world. A three stage model of personal transformation and leadership development, which builds the depth of knowledge and insight necessary to effectuate change on a larger scale, will be presented and practiced. The connection between personal and community development for archetypal leadership will explored as the culmination of the hero's journey.
