3. The rationale for today’s leadership training is to ensure
that the students working on this campus as leaders are
well equipped and trained to represent their organizations.
We hope that this day will provide you with the tools
necessary to lead your organizations in a direction of
growth and engagement.

of students

modeling as a student
leader

5. The goals for today are
to:

leader
• Introduce you to
relevant staff
members of this
campus
• Allow you to network
with other student
leaders
6. • Communication is a process of reaching an
understanding among all parties whilst exchanging
information as well as sharing and creating ideas
• Constructive communication allows individuals to
integrate a variety of community norms within classes,
workplaces, and other group settings
• The Transactional Model (Health &Bryant,2000) states
that active thinking, speaking, nonverbal, paraphrasing
and listening skills are valued

8. • Effective time management is needed to lead positive
personal and professional lives
• To effectively manage you time: control it
• The use of effective time management skills will give way
to a stellar academic performance and low stress
• Self-care is of the utmost importance
• Maslow (1943) describes individuals as having peak
experiences when they understand their potential and
how they can become all they can be. This is also known
as self-actualization!

10. • Leadership is described as the ability to lead, the ability
to guide, direct, or influence others
• These skills are essential to your success as a student
and future professional.
• Be authentic and intentional!
11. Only three things happen naturally
in organizations: friction, confusion,
and underperformance. Everything
else requires leadership.
-Peter Drucker
