Confidence at the Crossroads

By the end of this course, you will leave with a set of powerful tools and reflections to guide your journey. You’ll create a Crossroads Map to clarify your current decision point, a Roots Map to identify what grounds you, and a Reach Map to highlight growth opportunities.
