Program Summary:

Leadership Lessons uses a unique classroom instructional method in which TED Talks, podcasts and other media sources are used to present the ideas of successful leaders. The sessions are conducted so participants have the opportunity to learn leadership lessons from a noted leader. In addition, participants are provided the opportunity to discuss the topics in small and large group discussions. This instructional method enables new ideas from successful leaders to be infused with ideas of leaders in the session. The result is a fertile and powerful learning environment.
