This workshop dives into the definition and different approaches to leadership. Participants will explore personal definitions, the historical development of the practice of leadership, and contemporary views on leadership development. This workshop is perfect for introductory conversations about leadership, and to help students expand and update their understanding of leadership and its practice.

Understanding our own personal values is a foundation of practicing leadership. This workshop uses a popular, free, and easy to understand leadership assessment to build this understanding. This workshop is perfect for classes, teams, and groups to understand more about each other and how they can work better together!

A key element of leadership is understanding that it does not require a title or position. However, many of our organizations are structured with a hierarchy and positional roles. Many students feel they are "just a member." This session helps students explore what it means to be a leader in any capacity, at any time. This session is perfect for any group, but particularly members of organizations as they try to find how they can contribute to the mission of the organization.
