Every moment is a choice. We can respond with awareness, accountability, and ownership—what we call Above the Line—or fall into blame, denial, and defensiveness, which are signs of Below the Line behavior. This course introduces a clear and practical framework to help individuals, teams, and leaders shift their mindset, lead with intention, and elevate their impact.
By recognizing these patterns and choosing Above the Line responses, you can build trust, improve performance, and shape a culture rooted in growth and responsibility.
