Our Rising Leaders cohort gathered last month for an inspiring day of in-person learning and connection! Team members traveled to our corporate office to participate in a leadership panel with Coastal Ridge’s executive team, engage in live leadership trainings, present their book projects, and take part in a live coaching session—plus a little fun with lunch and bingo in between. We’re so proud of this incredible group and their continued growth!
