Participate and share: Interactive session 
Participants will engage in activities that explore the two common elements of great leadership.
Participants will build consensus within a group regarding their collaborative vision of success.
Participants will identify strategies to elicit consent and commitment from their students/team members/personnel.
*Introduction: What is leadership? I will pose a reflective question designed to elicit memories and characteristics of effective leaders from participants' lives.
*Strategy #1: Clear and compelling vision. In this section, we will discuss the importance of a common vision. Participants will engage with small-groups in an activity that helps them brainstorm, list, and prioritize descriptors of success in a chosen situation (this can be up to groups or I can provide a context for them).
*Strategy #2: Individual connection to the goals. In this section, we will discuss our "attention preferences," identifying what each individual on the team needs in order to be fully connected and committed to the collective goal. Participants will engage in an activity that requires moving about the room in order to "vote with their feet" as they understand their own preferences, and what that means for their leadership.
*Closing: As with any presentation worth its salt, we will finish with a set of reflective questions designed to elicit deep, introspective thought about the particular application of these approaches to each participant's life and role.
