Innovative Leadership Conference: A Conference for All
T
here's only a month left to register for Sons of
Norway's premier event dedicated to building stronger
leadership skills among members! For the second
convention in a row, Sons of Norway is bringing a top-flight
leadership expert to our seminar to teach members about
the practical application of leadership elements, conflict
resolution, communication and teamwork and the everimportant
subject of change management.
Over the course of the day-long event well-known
professional speaker and trainer Kit Welchlin will take
attendees through four educational modules that will include
both large group discussions and small group exercises.
The first module, dedicated to leadership, will take the
attendees through the Five Laws of Leadership and an
exercise for developing your personal brand (see last month's
Viking magazine). In addition, attendees will be part of a
discussion on the top qualities of leadership and a section
devoted to situational leadership.
Then, the next module will be dedicated to
communication and teamwork where attendees will learn
the 14 characteristics of effective listening, phases of team
development and develop the ability to communicate the best
elements of your lodge. This will be a great session that can
help members learn how to communicate with non-members
and increase recruitment.
In the first afternoon session, members will learn about
conflict resolution. They will discover their own conflict
styles and then learn how to adjust to others' conflict style,
for effective resolution. In addition, because problem solving
is often a root cause of conflict, Mr. Welchlin will also take
members through a multi-step problem solving/decision
making model. The result of this is that members use this
information to help build unity and harmony in their lodge.
In the final session of the day, attendees will learn about
the positive aspects of change and how to manage change
for the benefit of their lodge. Included in this session are a
discussion of the nature of change and transition, as well as
common mistakes made when dealing with change. Lodges
can benefit from this module because change is a fact of life
and attendees can bring back tactics to help lodges grow and
change in an effective and efficient way.
