Purpose: Being a leader is not only about what one knows,
it very much depends on how one sees him or herself in the role of a leader.
Combining intensive personal and group experiences with time for reflection
and learning forever changes how a person sees him or her self and how they
perceive and engage with others. The lessons in this module will be viscerally
grounded in experience rather than learned only through didactic teaching. Becoming
more aware of how to value and benefit from differences enables leaders to tap
into the richness of diversity in their everyday experiences. This understanding
builds a more supportive and involved community, while providing new lenses
for working with others in their communities back home. Shared learning experiences
transform how participants perceive themselves, their relationships with others
and their ability to work together as diverse individuals. Having the opportunity
to lead and receive feedback about one’s leadership style is a unique
learning opportunity.
Learning Objectives: Through completion of this module participants
will:

• Gain new perspectives and awareness of their personal strengths and impact
  on others by receiving feedback from their peers about their leadership skills.
• Practice giving feedback to peers about their leadership strengths and opportunities
  for improvement.
• Develop an experiential understanding of the principles for building strong
  working relationships, the skills for working together as a team and the leadership
  capacities necessary for working with others as peers, and the strength of
  their skills for these capacities.
• Deepen their leadership network to address shared concerns in the health
  care arena.
