Student Leadership: Leading by Being an Exemplary Role Model
This workshop focuses on the pragmatic skills needed to create a pathway of successful leadership for young leaders. There is an emphasis on "working with peers." The WHAT, HOW, WHY, and WHEN of the various leadership responsibilities are evidenced through a series of hands-on experiences. The key to outstanding leadership is based on the communication skills employed by the student leaders, therefore much of the seminar centers on developing efficient and effective verbal, visual, tactile, and intuitive communication techniques.
