The mission of this course is to spread positive influence and help young leaders grow their leadership skills through the facilitation of presentations, activities and discussions.

This course will help young leaders learn how to better help themselves and others on their journey through life. Those who attend and engage, with interest and an open mind, will take something away from each and every class.

Through sharing stories and experiences, the instructor will guide participants through topics that are designed to cultivate holistic growth, reflections, and connections that all young leaders need.

Each class provides relatable content with actionable steps that help lead participants to the best version of themselves. Topics covered will include:

• Failing = Growing
• Events+Response=Outcomes
• Positive Action
• How do you spend your 86,400 seconds in a day?
• Gratitude Connection and Communication
• And more!!
