SUMMARY:2024 Leadership Labs - Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Leadership Labs workshops designed to support the activation of the newly commenced Senior Fellows and the broader ALF community.\n\n\nJoin us for the 2024 Leadership Labs! \nLeadership Labs are a set of workshops designed to support the activation of the newly commenced Senior Fellows of classes 59\, 60\, and 61 AND the broader ALF network. \nTraditionally\, the labs have been held as two of the final class sessions within the Fellows program. This year\, the Leadership Labs are open to all Senior Fellows to foster collaboration and connection throughout the ALF network in order to make progress on the leadership challenges we are all facing. \nThe labs are an opportunity to turn up the heat on an issue of deep importance to you\, galvanize those who you need to include in your issue\, and practice creating collective action. This is a space to build on\, or revisit\, the learnings and skills gained throughout the Fellows program year\, and to practice those skills in community with other ALF Senior Fellows and Facilitators. The labs will be held on two separate days\, Friday March 22\, and Friday\, April 12\, from 9:00am – 4:00pm at 1801 Main Street. \nSenior Fellows will select one track from four different options based on how they want to focus their efforts for their leadership challenge. Check out the details of the four tracks below. You will be asked to identify which track resonates most with you on the following registration page. \n*Please note* \n\nSenior Fellows who register for Leadership Labs are committing to attend both part 1 on March 22 and part 2 on April 12\nThere are limited spots available\nDeadline to register is March 11\n\n\n\nTrack 1 – Feeding the Inner Flame \nIn this track\, the focus will be on the non-negotiable work of self-awareness\, personal growth\, psychological insight\, and values clarification. \nThe fire that transforms the world begins with the flame within leaders. Because leading is relational and is usually measured\, for better and worse\, by material achievement\, we can lose ourselves in our roles\, relationships\, and deliverables. The term burnout was coined by a psychologist to describe his own experience as a visionary community servant-leader. And in a very similar way\, the term self-care was coined by a visionary community servant-leader who had to choose between a literal death in blind service to her community and a strategic pause to ensure that she could continue to serve her values. \nThis track is for Senior Fellows who are: \n\nLooking to build their capacity to lead sustainably and meaningfully\nExperiencing burnout (emotionally exhausted\, cynical\, and/or losing our sense of accomplishment)\nNavigating major professional transitions or life changes\nNeeding time and space to consult their personal compass (or to build one)\n\nYou can expect to gain: \n\nA personal plan for building and tending to the inner flame of leadership\nA set of core terms (including burnout\, self-care\, communities of care\, adaptive resilience\, and others) to guide both inner and external leadership\nA toolbox of initial skills\nAn assessment of current needs and strengths\n\nPlease come prepared with: \n\nA clear articulation of your values\nA reflection or inventory on your current personal state.\n\n\n\nTrack 2 – Lighting the Fire \nIn this track\, the focus will be on determining your next move.You’re ready to light the fire and engage in bridging and dialogue over a specific issue or challenge. You are prepared to stay steady in the mess\, but your next steps are not clear enough to take action. You need support in strong planning and creating a path forward. \nThis track is for Senior Fellows who: \n\nHave an idea for or an interest in a specific issue that impacts their community or organization\, but may not know where to start\, who to contact\, or even if their idea is a good one\nAre inspired or feel a calling to take action on an important issue\nWant to explore ways in which to “reality check” their own ideas\, broaden their lens to include multiple voices and perspectives\, and get feedback from their colleagues on what possible next steps could be\n\nYou can expect to gain: \n\nA clearer sense of what really matters to them about their particular issue\nA sense of where their growth edge on the issue lies\nA pathway of concrete actions steps to guide the next leg of their journey of engagement\, including a powerful question\n\nPlease come prepared with: \n\nThe ability to speak about specific issues or challenges that are capturing your heart or attention\, but that you haven’t yet taken much\, or any\, action on.\n\n\n\nTrack 3 – Building the Fire \nThis track is for those who are currently making moves to address a specific issue.You are already engaged in addressing a specific social\, civic\, or organizational issue.
