It’s a masterclass in how to realign your practice with intention, how to recognize patterns of dysfunction before they spiral, and how to lead your team with connection and clarity. Whether you're overwhelmed with new tech, struggling with team alignment, or just feeling off-rhythm—this is your reset button.
