    Program Highlight: Gravitas

    Gravitas…Do I have it? Do I need it? Where can I buy it?
    Gravitas has become the newest “it” factor in separating oneself from the pack. People with gravitas stand up, stand out, and simply STAND when others may crumble or hide. Those who possess gravitas are often described as the real deal, assertive, great listener, empathetic, trustworthy, high integrity, composed, has a presence, and is commanding.
