Course Information:
What is an Athenian Dialogue?
These dialogues explore leadership principles and ethics of a character[s] in a pre-approved book. With a maximum of 30 people, we share our professional and personal experiences as they relate to the content of the book. We examine our role as leaders, as mentors in our community and seek solutions or shortcuts to improve difficult situations.
About our book: In a world where “never enough” dominates and feeling afraid has become second nature, vulnerability is subversive. Uncomfortable. It’s even a little dangerous at times. And without question, putting ourselves out there means there’s a far greater risk of getting criticized or feeling hurt. But when we step back and examine our lives, we will find that nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous, or hurtful as standing on the outside looking in and wondering what it would be like if we had the courage to step into the arena. Daring Greatly is a practice and a powerful vision for letting ourselves be seen.
About our Facilitator, Dawn Michanowicz, MMC, CMMC:
Dawn is a popular facilitator who brings creativity, joy and humor to her dialogues. She has worked 20 years in local government before retiring as a Master Town Clerk in Massachusetts. Raised overseas, her dream was to join the US Foreign Service. In the 1970’s discrimination against women prevented that. After college she moved to New York City, eventually starting her own import/export company. When her health began to fail, she discovered holistic modalities that changed her life. Today she is an Advanced Practitioner of Energy Medicine. She readily shares her mindfulness nuggets in her seminars. See more at www.SacredMountain/dialogues
