Description

Program description: This program is comprised of 3 leadership workshops created by leadership expert John C Maxwell and facilitated by Maxwell Certified Leadership Coach Viviana Vargas and Sponsored by THE VENTURA FOUNDATION. They aim to provide students with an environment for leadership values and tools to be introduced, practiced, and shared. Because many of today’s youth equate leadership with position, abuse of power, bribery, and corruption, few young people have a healthy and correct understanding of what leadership is and how they can apply it to their lives and the lives of others. These workshops where designed to reverse the negative portrayal of leadership by offering a desirable portrait of leadership based on values that can be applicable to a student’s life –values that teenagers can admire, implement, and choose to aspire to for a more positive and sustained style of leadership. Workshop goals and lessons: Identify with the 10 values of leadership Identify how to turn losses into learning opportunities Practice leadership values and develop those skills Evaluate themselves with their applied knowledge Take turns guiding small group discussions Lessons: When You’re Losing, Everything Hurts Humility: The Spirit of Learning Reality: The Foundation of Learning Responsibility: The First Step of Learning Improvement: The Focus of Learning Adversity: The Catalyst for Learning Problems: Opportunities for Learning Bad Experiences: The Perspective for Learning Hope: The Motivation of Learning Teachability: The Pathway of Learning Each workshop contains activities to be completed within the lesson time, students must fulfill all requirements and actively participate to consider them for program graduation.
