Leadership - What is it? Who are you? “Leader” – how do you identify with the term? Whether or not you are in a leadership role now, want to move into one, or are intrigued with the territory, consider joining us for a workshop focused on leadership. Effective leadership is a critical component of successful organizations, yet we rarely take time to reflect on what it means and who we are as leaders. What skill sets, attitudes, and qualities do leaders need? What are your strengths as a leader? Where do you need to flex and increase your leadership muscles? Whether you are a board member, staff, or an engaged community volunteer, we invite you to join this lively, generative, and hands-on three-session workshopin Bangor, focused on leadership. You will leave with a clearer understanding of who you are as a leader and new tools for owning your leader self.

Session 1: What it Takes to be a Leader: previous to the first session you will take the Posner/Kouzes Leadership Practice Inventory (LPI) online to learn more about yourself as a leader; during the session you will explore and understand the five dimensions of leadership assessed in the LPI – Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable others to Act, and Encourage the Heart; identify areas of strength and challenges; and set leadership goals with a plan to increase your leadership capacity.
Session 2: How to Travel Rough Roads and Get Back on Track: acknowledging that leaders are faced with complex and sometimes overwhelming and competing tasks, we will focus on identifying guiding values, how to uphold integrity and accountability approaches that support the navigation through challenging territory; peer consultations will provide strategies for dealing with leadership conundrums.
Session 3: Thriving as Leaders: learn how to hold the organizational and the wider vision, develop a personal board of advisors, and a self-care plan. Revisit leadership goals and participate in peer consultations to identify personal strategies for thriving.
Cost: $250. Limited to 15 participants. As an incentive for leadership teams to attend together, you will receive a 10% discount for the second team member (the 4th team member is free).
