Session 1 Pre-Work: The Pilot
Open to view video.
Open to view video.
A key part of our experience together includes getting to know three characters--Rhonda, Ben, and Calvin--and their stories. We will do that through a film series. It's a docu-series style, inspired by the television show, "The Office". The setting, scenarios, and environment may not exactly mimic how your typical workday looks. We get that! We want you to instead examine the situations our characters face and how we can learn from their leadership challenges.
