Each class claims to be the "Best Class Ever" but the class of 2023 might just own that title.

A local small business owner close to the Leadership Loudon family, was the victim of a burglary at her business. They smashed her glass and stole a significant amount of inventory. The Class of 2023 took it upon themselves to show up to help with the cleanup.

Leading is an art. One that cannot be mastered overnight. It’s one that's crafted through life's experiences, caring about the needs of others, and consciously aligning how one wants to do things to their strengths. It takes more than just work ethic to make an effective leader; it requires vision and intelligence to make an impactful change in the world.

We would like to thank a few community members for choosing Tree of Life for their Leadership Loudoun class project. Their goal was to focus on a non-profit organization within Loudoun County and volunteer their time. Members of this year's class chose a variety of activities to participate in across TOL’s 3 Regions: Purcellville's Food Pantry and Community Dinner, Leesburg's ESOL Class, and our clothing boutique, The Clothing Closet. We so enjoyed hosting them and appreciate their time and interest!

🎥 Coming soon: Building Strong Hybrid Teams

Recently, I collaborated with Maria Asuelimen on this updated online course. As you can see, we had some fun!

A Hybrid organization is simply any organization that offers some combination of in-office work and virtual work to its employees.

According to research from Zippia, a global career development and job placement firm, about half of US companies offered some form of Hybrid Work options before the pandemic. Whereas today, they report that a full 90% of US companies provide some Hybrid options for their employees.

How is your team handling this transition? This new/updated online course will definitely help you and your team overcome the challenges of the hybrid context and move into high performance as part of an effective hybrid organization.
