Being mission-responsive\, using reflexive thought\, and building emotional intelligence are core leadership development skills. How does one identify what leading from their inner core looks like? How do our innate qualities determine our leadership style? And once we understand our core motivations and leadership style\, how do we inspire others within our organizations\, communities\, and sectors to lead and collaborate across networks and systems? It requires a new way of thinking and behaving. This session will explore new ways of framing leadership development by focusing on: \n\nIdentifying intrinsic and extrinsic motivations\nRethinking leadership from a core development mindset\nHighlighting leader behaviors that inspire\, motivate\, and empower others through collaboration\n\nDinner/Networking \nTuesday\, May 14\n\nMorning Motivations \nEquip the Flip for Human Services Leaders\nRobena Spangler\, MS\, Social Current\nSenior Director of Leadership Development/Organizational Excellence \nTrinka Landry-Bourne\, DPA\, American Public Human Services Association\nOrganizational Effectiveness Consultant Leadership Development \nBreak \nEquip the Flip: Voices from the Field ELI Focus Groups\nRobena Spangler\, Social Current \nTrinka Landry-Bourne\, American Public Human Services Association \nSocial Current and the American Public Human Services Association have joined together to create a new leadership framework for human services.
