Join us for our final Bruins LEAD event on Thursday, Oct. 27, to hear softball coach Jessica Hollen speak on “How to Manage Team Conflict.â€
You don’t have to be an athlete or coach to be part of Bruins LEAD. It is simply an opportunity to develop your leadership skills. We will take basic leadership concepts and spend one hour diving into details of how to develop responsible and respected leaders. The session meets from 8:40 to 9:40 p.m. in Lemmons 8.
While some of the content may be specific to athletics and teams, we feel strongly that every person will end up working in a team at some point in their lives, and this information can be relevant for everyone on campus.
If you were unable to attend the first series of sessions, join us this week! Snacks will be provided!
