Furman’s Center for Innovative Leadership has teamed up with celebrated stress physiologist Dr. Rebecca Heiss to offer a brand-new leadership program titled Furman Fear(less) — a 52-week masterclass starting Friday, April 19 that helps participants transform stress into energy they can use to regain a sense of self + lead a life filled with confidence.

  2. Stress, Anxiety & Time
  3. Navigating Fear
  4. Overcoming the Imposter
  5. Boundary Setting
  6. Manifesting Positivity
