Empowering All: Nurturing a Leadership Mindset
In this lively workshop, we will explore what it means to embrace a growth mindset and how to maximize that way of thinking to empower not just ourselves but also those around us. Together, we will briefly study a framework for leadership, conduct self-assessments, and begin to develop individual leadership plans to put our learnings into action.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify a “growth mindset” and learn how to develop one
- Define leadership
- Become familiar with the five practices of exemplary leadership, as defined by Kouzes and Posner
- Understand what to implement to put learning and observations to practice
