Session 4: Friday - 10:00am to 12:00pm
A - In Search of Excellence (This session has reached capacity)
Kerenda Applebey, Early On Training and Technical Assistance
If you are “in search of excellence,” whether your role is parent, administrator, service provider or faculty, you will benefit from this workshop! Leadership is a point-of-view, not a title. Learning to embrace and celebrate the leader in you (and in all those around you) will make you more effective, enhance your job and life satisfaction, and help to prevent burnout. You will leave this workshop with a deeper appreciation of the leadership opportunities in your life/role/job, a broader understanding of the qualities of effective leaders, and specific strategies to help overcome leadership challenges.
