Leadership Focus Session 2: Learning to Learn from Experience

Leadership Focus Session 2: Learning to Learn from Experience

This is the second session for the fall Leadership Focus, a series of workshops that are held over the course of the semester. The Leadership Focus is taught by Clint Sidle, director of the Park Fellows Program, and is open to all students.

In session 2, you will create a personal development plan based on Strengths Finder and Foundations in Leadership Experience.  You'll also join a three-person coaching team that will be your team throughout the Leadership Focus semester-long experience. Coaching teams help you follow through on your learning plans and serve as a source of support on personal leadership challenges
