    Program Description

    The Institute is an interactive, energizing event designed to help participants improve in the essential skills of teamwork and communication as well as develop organizational and personal goals. Institute attendees will participate in experiential learning activities, interact in facilitated workshops and learn about a variety of leadership skills and topics. Topics will include goal-setting, working in groups and communication skills.  A guiding principle of our programs is "experiential learning", meaning that programs are designed to help participants "learn by doing." Teambuilding exercises, movie clips and creating leadership personality profiles are some of the planned activities. Participants will also receive materials they can use after the Institute and  invitations to future programs.

    Educational Objectives
    • Gain a better understanding of your leadership style and skills
    • Improve communication skills
    • Set personal and organizational goals
    • Network with other leaders

    What to Bring
