Powerful Leadership Skills!

Another great meeting of Igniters on April 14 with three very different speeches and enthusiasm from everyone in attendance. The word of the day was skills and the challenge word was powerful.  

Nandini started the meeting helping us understand the "Competent Leadership" manual and teaching us about the leadership track. The manual has ten different projects including critical thinking, feedback, time management, motivating people, mentoring, and team building. 

Julie gave an excellent CC #1 presentation by sharing her life with us by comparing her past and present to a "fish in a pond".  
Mark and I presented our second speech with Mark entertaining us with his wit and humor by talking about the hurdles we encounter when driving and the fact that our journey through life is as important as the destination. I practiced a speech that I will be presenting at a fund raiser for Grace House of Recovery in Drumheller.  

The evaluators went into detail stressing our achievements and then helping us understand how we could improve.  

Our Quizmaster had us competing loudly to be the best at listening. The questions were answered so quickly we did not need to hear the whole question!
Do you want to be a more effective leader? Come and find out how you can improve your skills to be a better leader. Next meeting - learn how to give feedback to help others improve.
