Leadership Initiative for Excellence

LIFE is a powerful process that integrates values, purpose, and personal change to wake up the leader in you. This intense, interactive training provides the participant with the opportunity to practice and enhance key leadership competencies including effective communication, decision-making, teamwork, focus, and interpersonal skills. Building on their strengths, students will eliminate the barriers that are holding them back from achieving their full leadership potential.

Significant leadership growth can be accomplished within this 2.5 day training, but it’s just the beginning. Strategies and tools are provided to aid in a continuous development process. Most exciting is the subsequent opportunity in LEAP of partnering one-on-one with a trained coach to achieve the goals set during training. In summary, LIFE is intended to create what scientists call an “autobiographical memory” or a memory of personal significance; a memory upon which to build one’s leadership future.

The LIFE program is mandatory for students who join the LEAP leadership development program.  Students who do not join LEAP will have additional opportunities throughout the semester to partake in the LIFE seminar.
