How to get the most out of the Leadership Collaborative
- Find connections within yourself.
- Commit time and energy.
- Meet with your supervisor in-between sessions.
- Be open to not knowing. It’s okay.
- Do your homework – start it in the first week, not the last week.
- Include your boss during the breaks in the sessions.
- Ask for clarification, examples, etc. But sometimes, just dive in and try even if you don’t understand 100%.
- Turn to team members between classes.
- Don’t overthink it.
- Give your supervisor your RRD.
- Even if it isn’t a part of your action plan, if an opportunity arises, try to apply your skills.
