Class Experience

Being a real leader begins by building one's character. When you've built your character, people will naturally look up to you. When people look up to you, you're a leader.

In this introductory class to leadership skills, one of ten of my Outschool classes on leadership skills (each class works as a stand-alone), the students will engage in dialogue with me about what it means to have a good character. I'll begin by inviting the students to talk about people in their lives they admire, connecting their admiration to character traits. From that dialogue, I'll shift the focus to invite the students to talk about times they, themselves, demonstrate leadership skills, focusing on self-discipline, dependability, reliability, and integrity, as well as on how trust is built.

As a wrap-up, I'll talk about the difference between being a good leader and simply having power.

While the conversation in this class is English, it is also ESL friendly, appropriate for CEFR: A2, B1, B2, and beyond. Having learners from different countries and backgrounds helps expand our opportunities to connect with and respect others.

A NOTE ABOUT THE COST OF THIS CLASS:

I know the price of my classes is higher than many others on Outschool. As an experienced and talented educator, I believe I'm worth this amount and invite you to look at my reviews. That said, I don't want any family to be priced out of what I offer. Whatever your financial situation, if you're interested in one or more of my classes, please reach out and let me know what you can afford. I can provide coupons, refunds, and/or reductions, and am confident we can find an equitable rate that works for you and me.
