Probably the best place I learned about leadership was at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. They have phenomenal leadership development programs, including LeaderShape.
There are 4 key components to leadership:
Self Development
Interpersonal Development
Group Development
Transition Development
Each of these categories goes in depth with various concepts and principles. If it is of interest, I can do a workshop on leadership development for a Friday seminar.
Friday seminar? What in the world is that?? :)
So starting in January 2009, we're going to have a bit a of a revised Austin Kung-Fu Academy.
I won't disclose details just yet, as we are still working some things out. But I will tell you this - there'll be opportunities to train 4 days a week at our location! And, there will be a lot more hands-on instruction!
So, if you know of people who you think could benefit from and are interested in learning Kung-Fu/Grappling, send them our way! If you'd like a gift certificate, to give to someone, let me know.
