Owning Your Influence

 

As a leader in out-of-school time work in North Dakota, you matter (maybe more than you realize!). During this full-day session we will explore your circle of influence and what it means to be a self-aware leader so that you can maximize your impact. You will reconnect with your WHY and examine your  values.

We will discover those factors that bring out your best and explore those moments when your best is missing. We will learn about the importance of self-compassion in work that can sometimes be emotional, hard, and overwhelming.

Finally, you will walk away with specific tools and strategies you can use to up your leadership game both when things are going well and when things feel hard.

Session for: All participants. The morning will be a full session together and the afternoon will have 2 sessions, one for  providers working with children ages 0 – 5 and one for providers working with youth ages 5-18.
