Leadership Skills for the Moments that Determine Whether People Stay, Struggle, or Spiral
An exclusive, full-day leadership masterclass led by Jen Marr, global speaker, bestselling author, and founder of Showing Up LLC, focused on real-world leadership skills that build trust, reduce overwhelm, and improve retention and performance. If you are looking for the skills and insight needed to lead in times of change, this masterclass is for you. Join us for a powerful opportunity to reset, reflect, and strengthen your leadership for our uncertain world.
What this is:
This is a full-day, invite-only Leadership Masterclass designed to solve a problem we are seeing everywhere right now:
People are overwhelmed. Teams feel stretched thin. Middle managers are caught in the middle. Leaders are being asked to navigate more anxiety, more distress, more conflict, and more churn while still delivering results.
This is where we find the intersection of Leadership, Mental Health & HR. A nuanced space that is often avoided with devastating results.
Most organizations have resources. What they are missing is the leadership skill set that connects those resources to real humans in real moments.
This Masterclass builds that skill set.
Hosted by Mental Health America Lakeshore this experience brings together a curated group of leaders for a practical day of training, tools, and collaborative working time.
This is not therapy. It is not a motivational talk.
It is leadership development for the moments that shape culture, retention, and performance

Who is this for:
This is a strong fit for leaders and workplace changemakers who guide people through disruption, hardship, change, or high demand environments, including:
- Senior leaders and executives
- HR and people leaders
- Frontline supervisors and mid-level managers (especially newly promoted leaders)
- Well-being leads and internal champions
- Education leaders (district leadership, principals, department leaders)
- Any role where people look to you for direction, steadiness, and support
What participants will walk out with:
Participants will leave with practical tools and repeatable frameworks they can use immediately, including:
- A clear understanding of what supportive leadership looks like now, and why it impacts retention, trust, and performance
- Language for the “awkward moments” that stop leaders from stepping in effectively, plus a repeatable way to respond without avoiding, rescuing, or escalating too late
- Micro-skills leaders can use in the flow of work to surface issues earlier and reduce overwhelm
- Conversation frameworks leaders can repeat with confidence (and teach to others)
- A simple Support Mapping approach to clarify pathways and boundaries between leader, HR, EAP, and professional care
Invitation style:
This is a curated, invite-only experience.
To drive real follow-through inside organizations, we recommend 1–2 seats per organization so participants can return together and build momentum internally.
Light breakfast and lunch included, you will be notified prior to event to choose your food selections.
