Unlock University

I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.

—Michelangelo

Are you the type of person who gives so much to everyone else, that you end up with little time or energy for yourself? Do you like the feeling of taking on more and more, only to feel like you are not making any progress? Do you ever get the feeling that you could be and do so much more, if you could just find a way to invest more in yourself?

If there was a way you could change your life without needing to get permission from anyone else, would you take it?

Whether you are just starting out or already an accomplished professional, Unlock University provides you the dedicated attention needed to unlock the best version of you. Our philosophy is that everything you need to succeed is already inside you — it just needs to be revealed.

We believe as people realize their full potential, the world becomes a better place. The work you do, the connections you make, and the energy you bring into the world — all of these elevate you and the people around you.

We are so excited be a part of your journey! To find out how to Unlock U, join us at www.connectioncounselor.com/unlock-u

LAUNCHING POINT

"It is possible for capable leaders to optimize and transform our systems. Systems can survive and grow. Or they can fail. What is the difference? Why do some leaders and organizations fail while others survive and flourish?

If leaders exhibit only tactical and analytical behavior without strategic, visionary thinking, systems will fail. This path towards failure is not necessary, yet it is the path that some leaders and organizations unknowingly choose. The survival of many systems depends on their leaders having systems knowledge and the cour- age to move beyond the accepted norms.”
