The Course
“Great Leaders Know How to Lead Themselves First”
Transforming the way we lead ourselves, navigate life’s challenges, and make a difference.
What if the same tools we use to transform complex systems could help us overcome our own barriers and unlock our potential?
After 36 years leading global systems transformation at Procter & Gamble, Sandy Hughes discovered that the skills she used to navigate complex business challenges were just as powerful in navigating life’s personal challenges, opportunities, and transitions.
Now a business and executive coach, nonprofit board leader, engaged philanthropist, and bestselling author of ZST4LVG (Zest for Living): A Self-Coach Framework to Bust Barriers, Sandy applies those same principles to helping individuals and organizations overcome obstacles and achieve greater impact.
Through personal stories, humor, and practical insights, Sandy will show how to recognize what’s really holding us back, challenge the assumptions and self-doubt that limit our choices, and take intentional steps toward what matters most—whether in our careers, relationships, or service to others.
You’ll leave with two practical self-coaching tools to help you navigate life’s challenges, make decisions with greater confidence, and turn your aspirations into action.
The more intentionally we lead ourselves, the greater the difference we can make in the lives of others.
