I have just returned from a Leadership Seminar sponsored by Upsilon State of Delta Kappa Gamma and it was informative, fast paced, interactive, work and thought provoking. I can tell you some of the concrete things I learned about myself, my leadership style, stress management and the conducting a meeting; but what is harder to describe is the internal feeling. Something happens through osmosis. When I think of myself now in a leadership role I feel different. I've always been able to do the things that need to be done but now I feel I can project the confidence of leading a team to the end of a vision. It's a feeling of knowing how to complete a journey.
Some may think that the 2 days should be stretch out over a week but I think the compact time creates a dependency on the other members of the group. Friendships are built through the need to survive and strangers become people you can depend on to be there when you need them.
The time the trainers have put into planning and organizing this seminar is huge. They were ready for us. They had thought through the progression of presentations. They were delivers and listeners. They were patient yet direct when needed. I appreciate all they gave to the seminar to make it a winning experience.
