Using our past we will work to discuss how you can find a balance in life. Through the years personally I have grown to understand what can be considered healthy and what isn't. From the fuel you put into your body, to the relationships that you have, to your own personal health (and mental health), the journey of life is full of ups and downs. We will discuss some strategies to look at your health in a leadership position and the different stresses that come with that.

This presentation will cover many of things you need to know as you take on more responsibility in your life. Topics will include health insurance, retirement, and much more.

The purpose of this session is to address some misconceptions and myths associated with privilege and inclusion. The topics will be addressed through activities and discussion to highlight the importance of diverse perspectives to create inclusive decision-making practices, the impact this may have on creating systems of power, and how this may influence points of privilege.

What are your personal values and why are they important to consider within leadership development? How do personal values impact your decision making and communication? Knowing what your tangible skills are is important, but so is assessing your personal values and seeing how they may help or hinder progress within group leadership.
