What is Leadership development?
How can it benefit me?

The Breaking Bread program is designed for busy professionals balancing life and careers. After decades in fast-paced industries, our founder noticed a gap. There was a lack of convenient and effective leadership programs. Not everyone has the time for in-person, day-long programs. However virtual programs can often miss the mark on content quality, interaction and relevance. We provide leadership development that is actionable, convenient, and engaging. It is a virtual, facilitator-led program where you spend one hour a week for minimum 6 weeks. Your cohort includes peers with similar work experience yet different perspectives and industries that enrich the learning.
