Do Well By Doing Good: Making Money While Making the World Better

by Julie Rettinger • Level: I, II, III • Focus: S, L In this workshop, you’ll get a good understanding of social enterprises, where for­profit business principles meet not­for­profit sensibilities. Leading a social enterprise is an important way to serve the community, and you’ll hear about some social enterprise leaders and how they got started. You’ll learn about specific social enterprises that are making a difference, then have the opportunity to think about how to design your own social enterprise. Students with an interest in community engagement, business, or both will find this workshop interesting.

The Leadership Transition

by Dr. Golda Eldridge • Level: II, III • Focus: L, R Smooth leadership transitions don’t happen through magic. They take planning, thought and commitment by old and new leaders to succeed.

Cultural Competency

by Dr. Pat Reynolds • Level: I, II, III • Focus: D, R, C What is your cultural IQ? Do you think you have what it takes to lead in a multicultural environment? So what is cultural competency and how can you develop it? And once I’ve developed it how do I use it to effectively lead? This session will address these questions and help you to better understand how to do this and why in a shrinking world this is a crucial skill.

Basics of Effective Communicaiton

by Dr. Jessy Ohl • Level: I, II • Focus: C, P This presentation will focus on the role of critical listening in establishing group synergy, trust, and commitment. While communication is commonly theorized from the traditional perspective of the speaker, critical listening scholarship shows that fruitful discussion is as dependent on listening as talking. This presentation will offer leadership students with strategies to maximize their communication effectiveness by enhancing their listening skills.

StrengthsQuest

by Dr. Golda Eldridge • Level: I, II, III • Focus: P, L Are you ready to make the most of every opportunity?

by Dr. Golda Eldridge • Level: II, III • Focus: L, R, C What do you base your decisions on: emotion, reason, instinct? Do you even know?

by Dr. Golda Eldridge • Level: II, III • Focus: R, L, C

5:00 p.m. ­ 6:00 p.m.

You can’t do it all. And you shouldn’t try. Failing to delegate is a recipe for disaster because it stretches you too thin and leaves no one else ready to step in when you leave. Knowing what and how to delegate and learning to trust others is tough. This workshop will give you the tools to master this essential skill and be a more confident and competent leader.

5:00 p.m. ­ 6:00 p.m.

What’s your vision of a leader, the person at the head of the table, the one standing in front of the crowd?

Ever thought it might be the person in the back of the room? The reality is a leader is someone committed to making a difference.
