ABOUT THE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERIES:

The Rotary Club of Edina is proud to present the 2021-22 Leadership Development Series.  This year’s program will continue with strong content delivered by seasoned professionals in an environment that will foster both relationship and leadership development.  If you are interested in improving your effectiveness and expanding your network to include growth minded leaders like yourself, this series is for you!

 Schedule and Commitment:

 Our leadership development series is designed with the busy professional in mind.  Although we believe that maximum benefit will be gained by committing to attend every session, a regular monthly scheduled coupled with a plug-n-play format will allow you to engage in as few or as many of the sessions as you choose.  All we ask is that you come ready to engage.

•  When:  The 2^rd Wednesday of the month from 7:45AM to 9:00AM

 ·         Where: Coldwell Banker Burnet Training/Conference Center, 7700 France Ave So

Program Objectives:

• Leadership Skill Development:  A core focus on skills development to help the participants learn specific skill sets in order to develop professionally, add value to their organization(s) and to make progress toward their career goals.
• Goal Setting/Career Planning:  Provide a framework for participants to identify their professional and personal goals and carve out a long-term career path.
• Problem Solving: Assist the participants in developing cognitive skills in order to strengthen the mental process of discovering, analyzing and solving problems to overcome obstacles.
• Networking: Create a rich environment for participants to expand and develop their professional connections and business network.
