National Leadership Training, Memphis Tennessee

Start Date:

02/26/2023

End Date:

03/04/2023

ABOUT THIS COURSE: The focus of this training is for you to reflect upon what it means to be a leader in the public arena. Effective leadership is imperative if transformation is to take place in your organization, community, or congregation. The emphasis throughout will be on engagement with the participants along with some learning by doing, including hands-on skill practice sessions and feedback from peers and faculty. There will be an opportunity to develop a plan of action for taking these skills back home. It will be to your benefit to be willing to take risks, try to practice new behaviors in dealing with others, re-examine your current strengths/weaknesses and be open to feedback. Our intention is to support your efforts in this regard by creating, during our time together, a learning community that emphasizes self-reflection, introspection, and mutual inquiry as the primary approaches to skill development.

MANDATORY PRE-COURSE ASSIGNMENTS: To prepare fully for this course, please complete the following tasks before coming to this training.

Have a conversation with your Organizer/Sponsor and ask for specific feedback on your leadership behaviors and how your Organizer/Sponsor will know that there was an improvement in your skills. Ask them to complete the Sponsorship Form found in the Member Portal and review it with you.
Complete the Leader’s Reflection Form. You will receive a link to this in your registration confirmation email.
