Session One:  The Purpose Driven Leader

As leaders it is essential to clarify the purpose that drives your leadership your "why." This session focused on uncovering or discovering personal "whys" while seeking to align personal values, actions and leadership framework with the individual's purpose.  

The fellows  were also able to interact with the Whitney Center leaders hip team to explore how their personal and professional "whys" sh aped the development of the Whitney Center and its impact on their residents.
 


Conversations with Whitney Center residents

The Leadership Academy fellows enjoyed their time with some of the Whitney Center residents.  These residents were selected to discuss their how they evolved into leaders and how this impacted their personal and professional lives.  The resident leader shared their "story" and then the Leadership Academy fellows were able to practice asking "softball" questions."  Softball questions are open ended thought provoking questions designed to further learning.
