Host Leadership offers a refreshingly accessible model, rooted in the fundamental human practice of hosting – a concept as old as society itself. This course draws on familiar hosting habits to unlock your leadership potential.

Presented by Dr. Mark McKergow, a highly respected leader and passionate facilitator, this program will help you translate intuitive leadership skills into intentional action.

Dr. McKergow illustrates these concepts with compelling stories spanning history and contemporary leadership, from Abraham to Queen Victoria, Nelson Mandela, and Mick Jagger, alongside insights from current thought leaders.
