Nathan’s sessions

“Vitality Café” 

This session is designed with black male leaders in mind. The vitality café promotes peer-to-peer learning and deep individual self-reflection. The Men of Valor who attend the café session will leave with increased knowledge of how to use the six vitality domains, to assist them with charting their own paths towards holistic wellness.  

“Imagining a Better Built Board”

This session is designed for Black-led organizations to envision the future and move very courageously toward it, despite how distant it may seem. Time will be dedicated to exploring the tasks at hand with the likelihood of them being much easier to tackle if there is support from board members, who understand their boundaries, roles, and duties.
