March’s Coffee + Connections Spotlight on Leadership Rigor Virtual Academy

Foundation News

 

Last week, Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts hosted another Coffee + Connections event for the month of March!

With an introduction by our Membership Director, Lori Belvedere, we spotlighted one of our Corporate Members, Erica Peitler of Leadership Rigor Virtual Academy. It was not only an opportunity for attendees to get insight into what Erica does for her clients, but also to connect with other members of the community over breakfast bites and coffee, provided by Julia Koffee of Kaldi’s Coffee. Thank you Julia!

On her website, Erica says, “We believe that the FUTURE belongs to those who have the courage and the capacity to IMAGINE it as well as the capability and composure to INFLUENCE others to work together and CREATE it.”

“The essence of Leadership Rigor is creating “change-ready” leaders who can embrace challenges because they have the tools, models, and language to assess, structure, and facilitate aligned actions. They also have the mindset and emotional skills to lean into the change process despite its uncomfortable nature. By innovating on their preparedness first, these “change-ready” leaders are equipped to realize the growth in themselves and in their teams or organizations.”

Thank you to Erica for speaking on Leadership and what it takes to make a change in today’s world! How to BE the change we want to see! 

We want to thank those who attended as our guests, who may not be current members of the Foundation, but might soon become one after seeing all that we have to offer. And, of course, a big thank you to all the Members of the Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts who came out this morning! We appreciate your continued support!
