About the Program
Virginia Swain will lead participants in a fun, high energy, interactive and experiential process where participants will address burnout and need for renewal by claiming their passion and applying it to the resolution of a current challenge. Participants will leave with more understanding of the importance of a personal mission statement and how mission-focused leaders influence others effectively while providing fuel for re-energizing their life and work. Participants will:
·Share and discuss each other’s stories that recount meaningful events in their lives in which personal passion and creativity were evidenced
·Create lists of key words and phrases used in the stories
·Write a paragraph that includes the key words and phrases to create the first step of a mission statement, which reveals and fuels their true passion.
