Education Program

Are You a Workhorse or a Racehorse: Taking the Reins of Leadership
Being a leader isn't having Director or Manager in your title. It isn't being appointed the role of supervising a team of people. Being a leader is a daily effort that requires active engagement and attention to your behavior, your vocabulary and your willingness to be curious, begin with empathy and have hard conversations. Every member of a team can be a leader. In this interactive workshop you will identify your values and recall an experience that supports that value, compare your experience to presented data and published articles, and partner with other attendees to discuss fears, feelings, wins, and successes in a way that is neither forced nor cliché. Through active discussion and writing exercises, you will engage with your fellow attendees, and explore new tools and concepts that you can apply to your own leadership style. Gain actionable takeaways and tools to create a safe, fun and productive environment for you and your team.
