Created a workshop and supporting guide to help leaders in all levels of society stay true to their values throughout their lives. Anchor Relationships® are special connections that remind people of who they are and what matters most to them. This work is rooted in research I conducted at the University of Pennsylvania. After completing an Anchor Relationships Workshop, 92% of participants said they were either likely or very likely to recommend this workshop to a friend; 67% said they were either likely or very likely to be more selective when building new relationships; and 50% said they were either likely or very likely to alter how they spend time with their current relationships.
