Participants will learn the basic skills and behaviors of great leaders, then reflect on their own skills and strengths as well as their opportunities for growth. Participants strengthen confidence in public speaking, develop effective communication and teamwork skills, explore goal setting, and gain tools to serve as ambassadors, mentors, and decision-makers within their programs and communities. The session is interactive and centered on helping individuals discover and amplify their leadership voice.
