Marcia Hyatt
Cook County Higher Education will feature Marcia Hyatt, noted leadership coach and facilitator, at the July Higher Education Guest Lecture Series event on Tuesday, July 5 from 7 – 8:30 p.m. at the North Shore Campus in Grand Marais.
Hyatt’s presentation The Art of Intentional Living will explore what it means to live intentionally—why we should strive to live intentionally, and why it is so hard.
Through her own experiences, the coaching of others and interviews, she identifies the key ingredients to “intentionally author” our days. There will be opportunity for questions and discussion during the lecture.
