WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A LEADER?
High school can be difficult enough without worrying
about if you are a leader or not. In this panel, panelists
will demonstrate that being a leader or exercising
leadership isn’t necessarily all about being the captain
of a sports team or the president of a student club.
Leadership is more than just a title. This panel will
teach you how to build a solid foundation for present
and future leadership. Learn to identify your intrinsic
motivations and create a support network. Discover
how to inspire a leadership attitude in yourself,
among your peers, and ultimately, within your community. |

LEADING WITH A PURPOSE
In order to make a positive impact, leaders not only
understand how to best utilize their skills and talents,
but also are also aware of their responsibilities.
Panelists will discuss how having a clear understanding
of the purpose of leadership positions can maximize
your leadership potential in your college community. |

WORKING WITH OTHER LEADERSHIP TYPES
There is more than one kind of leadership, and each
type of leadership is necessary to build a successful
team. In order to become an effective leader, you
must be able to balance your and others’ unique leadership
styles when working together in a team. This interactive
workshop teaches four different types of leadership
styles – North, South, East, and West – and leads
participants through team exercises to identify each
person’s unique leadership style and work together
effectively. |
