Two-Day Agenda

Pre-Event: Each person will be sent a username and password a few weeks prior to the event, so they can login on line and take a “Leadership Developmental Assessment” that will help evaluate their strengths and weaknesses as a leader. Each attendee will answer 157 questions, which takes about 20 minutes, then they will receive a 17-page report via email within 24 hours. Attendees will be given a telephone number and access code to listen to a recording that explains how to read and interpret their results. This is not a test: there is no pass or fail, it simply assesses everyone’s leadership skills and provides developmental recommendations.
