The Art of Inspired Leadership

MSAE is pleased to welcome back Michael Kumer, Executive Director of the Non-Profit Leadership Institute at Duquesne University. Michael was very well received at an MSAE networking event last year and we're excited to have him back. He combines a thorough knowledge of non-profit leadership with a dynamic, engaging speaking style you will find educational as well as entertaining.

In his session on inspired leadership, you’ll learn all about:

• Leadership attributes

• Leadership as mountain-climbing

• Obstacles to fully realizing our full potential ... and how to overcome them

• Leaders come in all shapes and sizes

• Making a difference in the world

• Spotting opportunities in every challenge

• A new definition of success

• Lead yourself before leading others

• The amazing power of choice

• Present moment living and

•  Inspiring others

• The joy of leadership.

Facilitated Discussions on Leadership

This workshop will be based on Michael Kumer's keynote presentation. In this workshop, participants, on a table-by-table basis, will:

a) Identify critical issues/problems/challenges
b) Brainstorm myriad ways of addressing those issues, and
c) Prioritize the possible solutions, with emphasis on those that could have the most positive and powerful impact on the organization.

The purpose of the exercise is two-fold:

a) Identify and solve a specific challenge, and
b) Model the art of facilitation, providing participants with confidence that they can replicate the process within their organizations.
