One thing I love about my job is that I get to interact with people all day long, and a couple of times a year I get to design a training session for those people. One of those sessions is the Madison Alumni Conference, and last year we looked at leadership styles through an assessment called Strengthsquest. This assessment worked really well for our group, because it was comprised of about 80 people an we only had an hour and a half to do a professional development session for them at the conference. I sent all of the attendees their own personal link to take the assessment, and we had the results ready for them upon arrival at the conference. Then, we had an entire session breaking down the results and figuring out what to do with our strengths. We put people in to groups based on their top strengths, an then put them with their leadership teams to talk through what stengths they had a lot of, and what they might be missing. All in all it was an excellent way to provided a meaningful, yet fun and interactive leadership training session to the conference.
