Leadership Is in the Palm of Your Hand
With Savvy Leadership Strategies for Women Co-Author Carole Sacino

The palm tree is resilient. It is one of the few trees not blown down or uprooted in stormy weather. The palm bends and does not break. It can touch the ground with its top branches, and when the wind dies down, it bounces back, its root system stronger than ever. To be a savvy leader, you need to be like a palm tree. You need flexibility to work in the eye of the storm and stay standing at the end. Like the palm, you may bend, but you do not break. In this intriguing program with Carole Sacino, you will discover the PALM Principles for weathering the storms and recognizing them as opportunities to grow and expand your personal power, passion and purpose in work and life.

• Recognize and take advantage of opportunities to break out of your comfort zone, bend but not break and build resilience.
• Persevere with passion, purpose and possibilities and be the model you want others to follow.
• Practice paying attention and staying in the present moment in order to change course and shift direction as needed.

Carole Sacino established Turning Point Institute after a successful career as a woman business leader and senior level executive. She has experience in and teaches others how to use the power of voice and choice to create a more powerful, passionate and purposeful contribution in work and life.
