Participant Privacy & Professional Boundaries Policy
Practice Leadership Institute™ encourages thoughtful professional dialogue that supports ethical learning, reflective practice, and responsible leadership development.

When referencing clinical situations, participants must:
Remove identifying information
Avoid sharing names, locations, or unique circumstances that could identify a client
Present examples in a manner consistent with ethical guidelines established by their licensing boards and professional organizations
