Click, Post, Like & Comment: Looking at Leadership Through Mainstream Media
This new program will examine the relationship between what we see depicted in the media and how this affects our still-developing understanding of leadership. This thematic program will combine our signature elements and methods of creating a collaborative community with our fun and interactive group challenges and activities related to depictions of leadership in the media. Participants will receive a code to take the Strengths-Finder assessment tool, providing us with a deeper look at individual talents, which, when nurtured and practiced in a safe, supportive environment, become strengths that can be leveraged in a variety of situations. Girls will each develop her own schema for leadership and apply these new understandings to what they see and hear demonstrated in mainstream media. No prior GLC participation necessary to participate in this interactive and engaging program! (6-8th)
6 - 8th Grade
High School Leadership Institute: Path to Purpose (2 day or 1 week)
This program brings 9-12 graders together to help emerging leaders uncover their purpose. Through the stories of visiting game-changers who share their why and the impact they are making in the world, our leaders explore the threads and throughlines among their interests, how and where they spend their time, and what they would chose to work on to no fanfare or when nobody’s looking. Girls take part in mapping out their most meaningful inflection points to discover purpose and what motivates them. We turn these retrospective maps into navigational tools to live and engage more intentionally in things that matter to them. All participants take the Strengths-Finder assessment and receive individualized coaching. Girls define success for themselves and explore topics such as how to spot adaptive vs technical challenges, and how to leverage their strengths in their activities and communities.
