LJC Select Workshop - The Adventure Within 5/21/2026 9:00 AM - 5/21/2026 12:00 Noon

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 11:06:33 GMT

Most leaders crave change and desire to create transformative results in the world around them. Yet too many leaders set out with good intentions before understanding themselves. The Adventure Within is packed with reflection, exercises, and insights designed to help the leader take account of what got them where they are, help them lead a much more joyful existence by aligning their needs, values, boundaries and standards with their much larger purpose in life.

As a result of this workshop, participants will be equipped to:

Discover the disconnect between hardwired needs and espoused values and their effects on one’s emotional energy in the world
Differentiate between how you react to the world vs. create in the world to lead toward self-authorship
Create action plans on how to lead differently

Aspire Corporate Pickleball Tournament Weather Policy

The Aspire Pickleball Tournament is a fundraising event supporting Aspire’s mission to drive economic development and business success in our community. Participant safety is our top priority, while also fostering business connections, team building, and promotion.

If inclement weather is anticipated, match formats may be shortened (e.g., first to 7 points, fewer games) to complete play before conditions worsen.

Play will be suspended if conditions are unsafe (e.g., lightning, dangerously wet courts) and will not resume until courts are safe. If courts cannot be restored in a timely manner, the tournament will be concluded. Results will be determined in good faith based on completed matches, including round robin play.

If the tournament is cancelled before play begins, it may be rescheduled or cancelled. Companies may substitute players or representatives if rescheduled. No refunds will be issued if the event is shortened or canceled due to weather.

Weather-related updates, delays, or rescheduling announcements will be promptly shared with team captains and sponsors via email. Aspire reserves the right to interpret this policy; all decisions are final.
