This is the second workshop carried out at Chiswick House School and St Martin’s College by Ms Amy Andrews McMaster, from Denver Colorado. Amy is a leadership and culture consultant, executive coach, courage builder and Certified Dare to Lead Facilitator. She is certified to bring the leadership research of Dr. Brené Brown to organizations that are ready to apply the four skill sets that are teachable, measurable and observable.
