Exploring Your Leadership Style: Oct. 10 Workshop
Date: Thursday, October 10, 2013
Time: 5:30 p.m. social time with refreshments; 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. workshop
Location: Kennedy Center, Room 303
Presenter: Tom Morgan
Who should attend? Individuals and/or teams who want to enhance their leadership skills and effectiveness.
Discover your information processing preferences through I Opt. I Opt is a leadership assessment tool used in professional development that will help you understand how you gather, process and act on the information that is all around you. This information shapes the way you approach leadership. To effectively lead others, it’s helpful to understand the strengths and vulnerabilities of your own approach.
Prior to the workshop, participants will complete a short online survey (fewer than ten minutes). The results of this survey will be used to generate a personalized report that each participant will receive at the workshop. These Advanced Leadership Reports identify information processing preferences, providing insights into issues that people bring with them everywhere they go. Tom Morgan, a certified I Opt interpreter, will explain the I Opt model and help you get the most out of your individual report.
Registration
To participate in the workshop, please RSVP by e-mail to Patty Park at parkp@augsburg.edu by Monday, October 7. You will receive an e-mail reply with directions for taking the I Opt survey. You must be present at the workshop to receive the survey results. Space is limited, so register soon.
The I Opt survey and report has a value of $25.00, but we are able to offer it for $10.00 per participant in combination with the workshop. Your $10 payment will be collected at the beginning of the event.
Do you know of others who are interested in participating in this workshop? If you have colleagues, friends, or family who would benefit from this workshop, please have them contact us soon.
