True Colors helps foster healthy and productive relationships at home, work, and play.

• The Wellness Wheel

What is all this that we are hearing about wellness? We know the importance of health, but is being “healthy” the same as being “well”? Denise will share information from the National Wellness Institute, researched as part of her recent sabbatical leave to study workplace wellness initiatives.

• Women Do It Differently: Women and Leadership

History and research has shown that women tend to have different leadership philosophies than men. Join me as we look at different types of leadership and how you can be a successful leader in your organization.
