Align for your Success with Mara Benner
True North Executive Coaching helps professionals achieve success through work that emphasizes leadership development, passion, performance and wellness.
Enso Circle for Professionals
Leadership is more art than science as the “Enso Circle” helps to remind us. Leadership development and professional growth requires flexibility, empathy, ability to adapt or pivot and a recognition that perfection may not be the key goal.
The Enso Circle encourages constant development and learning. Similar to leadership development, it encourages learning the fundamentals with a strong focus on self-awareness and then self-regulation.
Align for your success by reviewing the True North Leadership Excel Program and reaching out to Mara for a complimentary consult.
