Leadership Development: David Cooke
Quick Links
Serving as a community leader has its rewards but it can also be an exhausting endeavor. How can grassroots and organization leaders hone those skills which enable effective leadership? In this track, David Cooke and the staff of Brushy Fork offer a variety of sessions to build skills and inspire new perspectives about providing leadership to communities and organizations. From running effective meetings to understanding how different personality styles interact in leadership situations, participants will explore aspects of improving their leadership skills. Each participant creates a personal leadership development plan that he or she takes home to encourage practicing some of the new skills learned in this track.
