BLI 2.0 Refresh, facilitated by BLI Facilitators Joe Micallef and Debbie Peterson, is your opportunity to reconnect, refocus, and re-energize your leadership journey with a powerful refresher designed specifically for previous cohort participants. This is more than a recap. It’s a reset. A chance to reflect on what’s working, where you’ve grown, and what still stands in your way—personally and professionally.
Why Attend?
- Hold yourself accountable to the goals you set during BLI—and re-calibrate if needed.
- Strengthen the leadership habits that fuel clarity, momentum, and resilience in your day-to-day work.
- Learn from your peers’ real-world successes and challenges—and share your own insights.
- Reignite your PLAN and leadership development strategy with fresh tools and current perspectives.
- Explore advanced leadership topics including conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, cross-departmental communication, and innovation in change.
- Re-center your focus on balancing ambition, authenticity, and well-being.
- Network with fellow leaders and strengthen the connections that elevate both personal growth and organizational success.
This experience will blend high-impact refreshers with open dialogue, real-time feedback, and space to apply what’s most relevant to your career right now. You’ve done the work. Now keep the momentum going.
