This week, Region Ten staff and leaders had the opportunity to participate in impactful leadership training with Rick Griffin of the Community Resilience Initiative! Through sessions like The Neuroscience of Effective Leadership, our supervisors and managers explored how understanding the brain’s response to stress, feedback, and connection can strengthen trust, boost performance, and create more supportive work environments. We’re grateful for the opportunity to invest in our team and continue building a culture of resilience, collaboration, and compassionate care for those we serve.
