Last week our NorCal Partners came together for their first Regional Gathering. It was a great opportunity to connect with both new and long-standing Partners & Coaches. Events like these remind us of the power of coming together, the strength in our collaboration, and the endless possibilities that arise when we unite in purpose. Here's to new ventures and adventures!

At the end of June, we celebrated our first European Partner Gathering just outside of London, UK! This is the first European Partner gathering and the team had a spectacular few days getting to know each other on a deeper level professionally and personally. They focused on deepening their connections, strategizing around BD, and all left fired up by the potential of what we feel here that can emerge and grow in this potent new space and region. We're thrilled to continue building communities that connect beyond the screen. Check out some of the pictures from our time there!

We believe business is a force for good and the best way to affect this change is to support leaders, teams, and organizations to go deep and find out who they truly are--both their unique greatness and their shadows--and then integrate these aspects in all they do. Through this work, a leader, a team and a business can live in alignment with their purpose and have the best chance of realizing their vision for the world.
