Leadership for Lunch is an opportunity for student leaders to enhance their leadership skills and gain insight from other students on various leadership topics. These sessions offer an informal environment for students to learn about different aspects of leadership and how they can implement them in their lives. Each month, a faculty or staff member shares their expertise and guides a lunch discussion on a particular topic.
Leadership for Lunch is open to all students in a registered student organization and is not limited to those students who have a positional leadership responsibility (e.g. president, vice president).
Space is limited! Please use the link below or visit the Center for Leadership (Moseley 224) to reserve your spot for any of the workshops listed below. A free lunch is included!

Inspire the Uninspired
Wednesday, September 28, 2011, 12:30 - 1:30PM, Moseley 215
Inspire the Uninspired, presented by Katie Height, the Director of New Student Programs hopes to create discussion on motivation and its role in leadership. Katie plans to help teach students how to maintain high energy in groups and understand the importance of encouraging others. These are critical lessons leaders face and we hope to equip students with the necessary skills to be successful and to encourage those in their organizations that may be in search of inspiration.
The discussion will be facilitated by Leigh-Anne Royster, Coordinator for Personal Health Programs. The Lunch will be on students understanding that they are personal leaders and advocates of their own lives. It will encourage and teach the significance of communicating ones feelings and discuss how an individual can find the courage to speak their mind.
March’s Leadership for Lunch topic is focused on “Spirituality in Leadership” and our guest speaker is Nancy Luberoff, Director of Hillel, Come join us and challenge your understanding of spirituality and its connection to leadership. This session will help define the meaning of spirituality and teach students the importance of faith and inspiration in a team. Moreover, this discussion will encourage leaders to become more aware of individuals beliefs and utilize each others’ different perspectives to create a stronger organization.
Perception is the act of providing meaning to the world. As leaders, it is our instinct to react swiftly to a perceived problem because it is the most obvious concern. We perceive these problems as the sole issue, when in reality they may be only an effect of a different core issue. By focusing on the surface issue we fail to resolve the true problem and inadvertently allow it to resurface and possibly worsen. Leadership for Lunch will teach leaders skills to identify and solve problems’ roots. The “root of the problem” is cliché; this presentation will demystify this expression and explain the true power of tackling core issues. It will also provide an opportunity to network with other students and enjoy a free lunch.
