Success/Leadership Series Projects

This series is made up of programs which employ a unique training method - a seminar format involving all club members. Most of the modules are designed to last between 1 - 3 hours. In each module, a seminar leader conducts workshops designed to help participants develop and refine their leadership skills. The presentation of one of these modules is a credit towards the Advanced Communicator Gold award.

It is highly recommended that these modules not be presented word for word. Rather, these modules should be studied then put into the words of the presenter within the context of the needs of the club.

These modules do not have a formal evaluation. However, at the discretion of both the presenter and the club, feedback can be given to the presenter. That feedback can be done verbally and/or in written form.
