Of course leadership is about leading others and giving back in some way, shape, or form. But an often missed step in the leadership process is FIRST defining what your own personal vision or philosophy is! This presentation will focus on helping you begin to create a personal philosophy that will only strengthen your ability to be a leader at FGCU and beyond.

One of the most important skills you can gain as a student leader is to learn how to be professional in your role, but this is also one of the most challenging aspects of leadership. What does it REALLY mean to behave in a professional manner? What challenges do you have to work through to be thought of as someone who is a “true professional”? Join me for a relaxed discussion of the concept of professionalism in student leadership and what it takes to “keep it professional” in your organization!

Want to hear more from Vernon Wall on how you can create change on campus? Come have an intimate conversation with Mr. Wall and ask your questions about creating one better world through the FGCU campus and community.

Educational Session II11:20 a.m. - 12:20 p.m.

Are you in a leadership position that requires you to run regular meetings for your membership or the other members of your leadership team? While it might seem intimidating at first, it’s easy once you learn how to incorporate a few important elements. Join me and other student leaders on our campus for a discussion of what it takes to put on a great meeting and make your gather-ings a huge success!

As students, you strive to be appointed to leadership positions across campus in a variety of organizations. But what do you do once you get the position? This presentation is not to discuss what kind of leader you are before you get the position but what leader you are going to be once you land it. Come to this open presentation and discussion to learn more about leading your organization effectively.

The most effective leaders can empower and inspire widespread action. Leadership focused on motivating coordinated action, in the 21st century, will need to recognize concerns of inclusiveness and be designed to leverage human potential across difference based upon class, race, and gender. The methods of democratic engagement can provide an effective model for community-engaged leadership.

A recent study showed that when doctors tell heart patients they will die if they don’t change their habits, only 1 in 7 will actually follow through successfully. How can we change ourselves and our organizations when change is so hard? Based on the popular leadership text, Immunity to Change by Kegan and Lehey, this workshop will help participants explore positive changes they wish to make, uncover powerful barriers to change, and create plans of action for becoming positive agents of change on the FGCU campus.

Getting involved on campus is the key to becoming a successful FGCU eagle. By engaging with the FGCU community and students you can grow, gain experience, build your resume, and create memories. Your time at FGCU is short but it WILL change your life once you find where you be-long. Finding your niche on campus is about exploring who you are, learning all that you can, and channeling your inner leader. Not sure where your niche is at FGCU? Come discover where you belong and how you can make the most of your college experience!
