The Detour: How Dare You!?
Have you ever had to make a decision when you weren't 100% sure you were right? What about a decision where you wondered if you were even the right person to make the decision? Many of us have had moments that have been outside our comfort zone and shaken our confidence. This is all the more true for change leaders because there are not maps to where we are going. And yet, we have to make decisions anyway.
That's why The Detour has asked Amari Morton, Founder of Great Change Health, to explore ways to develop our confidence as leaders.

As a Founder and leader in the mental health space, Amari is well-equipped to facilitate us on a journey to maintain the confidence we need to lead effectively. Here is what we promise:

So you have hired your first Gen Z employee. Now what? Do you have to become social media literate? What is the best way to train them? How can you ensure they have an engaging early career experience? Aren't they extremely prone to job hopping? How can you set them up for career success?
