COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Leaders and potential leaders,
Do you have a scenario, that either has occurred or is going to occur, in which you saw or imagine yourself unable to handle well as a leader – and that you’d like to improve? If you answered “yes”, here’s your chance to bring your scenario to other leaders and community members.
The next session in the Community Leadership Development Program (CLDP) is:
The Leadership Practicum
Thursday, January 14th
7:00 to 9:00 ET / 4:00 to 6:00 PT
Class held via Zoom call (call-in details found below)
Let us know you plan to attend. Contact Tom Caruso ( tcaruso2@gmail.com )
The Leadership Practicum provides an opportunity to practice some aspect of leadership that is challenging for you, and to receive wisdom and suggestions from other leaders and the collective knowledge of the community. This is a place to practice and play.During this 2-hour call, there will be time for at least one or two men to run though a practicum.
– Describe your scenario, including in what ways you do not feel on solid ground as a leader.
– Set up men to play roles in the scenario.
– Run the scenario with those men, with other men witnessing.
– Assess how you did, your strong and weak spots.
– Hear observations and reflections from other men about how you did.
– Receive suggestions and alternative ways to handle the scenario.
– Re-assess what you might do differently.If don’t have a scenario to work with, you are welcome to participate as a community member, to witness and/or offer your experience as a leader.HOW TO PREPARE:– Consider whether you would like to bring a scenario to work on improving.
– If so:
– Get clear (before the call) on how to present the scenario, as clearly and succinctly as you can
– Be ready to describe what roles other men on the call can play during the scenario.
– Be open to feedback, reflections, suggestions, and alternatives.
Join us for this informative and educational session on a regular basis. (Note that February’s class may be on a different Thursday.)

COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
We are pleased to announce our third year of the Community Leadership Development Program (CLDP) – formerly the Community Leadership Training Program (CLTP). We will continue to have our sessions on the second Thursday of each month, 7 to 9 PM ET., from September 2020 through July 2021. You can find a summary of this year’s schedule below. In this (CLDP) Syllabus for the 2020-2021 Season link, you can also find descriptions of each session.
While a few of our offerings will again be from Core Team members, this year we also have an assortment of other trainers leading sessions. As in our first two years, these two-hour sessions will include opportunities for you to participate in conversations and exercises on each topic. There is no fee or registration, we simply ask for donations if you find these sessions useful. You will receive notification and instructions for each session at least one week before the scheduled session.
We hope you will join us for these regular sessions. Please let us know if you have any questions by emailing Tom Caruso (tcaruso2@gmail.com).
