Iran has been under a total #DigitalBlackoutIran for a week. Massacres continue. Detainees are being sentenced to death. Some victims’ bodies disappear entirely, others are returned only if families pay ransom (equal to years of a worker’s wages). Your silence enables this!

This week, in a serene mountain lodge, a transformative 5-day leadership program reshaped me. Deep self-discovery, distinguishing leadership from management, honing communication, learning from accomplished leaders & lasting relationships. Grateful for this opportunity!
