Beginning With One: Making a Movement Through Relationships – A session for leaders
Abstract: Imagine what could happen if we begin with one. What would happen if we enter one radical relationship or relentlessly pursue one new collaboration? Can you envision a transformed and connected community ready to support DHH learners and their families? To manifest this imagination into reality, we can harness the potential of individual leaders when we connect through intentional and meaningful relationships. Join this session to reflect on the dispositions, knowledge and skills you need to engage in relational leadership. Our collective ripple effects will swell into a tidal wave of change!
Learning Objectives: Participants will…
- define relational leadership and identify 3-5 key characteristics
- Reflect on personal dispositions, knowledge, and skills necessary for relational leadership
- Commit to one small change in their ordinary practice to prioritize new or strengthened relationships.
The AGM will follow the presentation.
