The purpose of this workshop is to introduce the topic of community leadership, which includes the skills and tools of working with others, with or without power and authority. Leadership involves bringing diverse groups - sometimes with different values, interests and objectives - together to find common ground and agree on a path forward. Finding ways to encourage others to participate, and facilitating difficult interactions, are all part of leadership. In this workshop, we'll explore ideas and then practice some tools and techniques to enhance your ability to lead others toward shared objectives. Course Fee: $60  CEU Fee: $25  CEUs: 0.6
