Leadership Skills Workshops

How do effective leaders get things done?  What skills allow them to move agendas and mobilize communities?  How do they work with groups and avoid the resistance encountered in hierarchical and ego-driven models?  This series focuses on 3 relational skill areas: organization, facilitation, and fund-raising.

Organizational Development ::
Weds, Jan 20, 7pm, Ewing House with Peter Hocking, director Office of Public Engagement — focusing on the behind-the-scenes planning that’s critical before any organization, group, or program can move forward.

Facilitation :: Thurs, Jan 21, 7pm, Ewing House with Wayne Assing, director Counseling Services & Student Development — focusing on the means through which a designated facilitator or leader can effectively guide a group through deliberation, discussion, and decision-making.

Fund-Raising :: Mon, Jan 25, 7pm, Ewing House, with Peter Hocking, director of Office of Public Engagement — focusing on methods for raising funds to move projects forward.  Although primarily focused on community / non-profit projects, the principles shared in this workshop are adaptable to many contexts.  Students attending this session are encouraged to attend the first session.
