You are invited to attend and help spread the word about a six-week leadership workshop that is being hosted by athletics. 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.
Each week, you will get to hear from one of our coaches on the following topics:
Sept. 22 – Marty Hunter on “Confidence and Composureâ€
Sept. 29 – Maco Hamilton on “How to Conduct Yourself With Class and Servant Leadershipâ€
Oct. 13 – Mike Meek on “How to Inspire Your Team and How to Build Winning Team Chemistryâ€
Oct. 20 – Branden Thompson on “How to Get Your Teammates Back on Trackâ€
Oct. 27 – Jessica Hollen on “How to Manage Team Conflictâ€
All sessions take place from 8:40 p.m. 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.
Tonight will be our second session. Even if you were unable to attend our first session, we would love to see you there!
Probably most important … there will be snacks!
