LEARN - “Everybody Leads” is a foundational leadership and skills development program for those looking to improve their general leadership skills. The program is conducted in six afternoon sessions over a twelve week period. It is for employees who are not in a staff management position. LEARN  is designed to address the need for all employees to be skilled in self-awareness and the interpersonal aspects of leadership. Key topics to be covered are:

•  Managing Yourself: understand how your values, personality and beliefs contribute to your successes and failures

• Improving Communications: identify processes and steps that help you to listen more effectively and explore your own listening behaviors

• Increasing Emotional Intelligence: discover what emotional intelligence is, practice techniques that develop your emotional intelligence and implement these proven methods in the workplace to enhance relationships and increase productivity

• Leading and Influencing Others: hands-on session that develops techniques and methods to positively influence work group performance

• Change Management: effectively manage organizational change

An applicant for LEARN must submit an application and have the full support and commitment of their organization to participate in all sessions. Managerial experience is not required although those with management experience are welcome to apply.

The total cost for the program is $300 due to the generosity of the United Way of Greater Cincinnati, Interact for Health, and the Greater Cincinnati Foundation. Keeping the cost of the LEARN program affordable would not be possible without the support of these funders, volunteer instructors and speakers.
