Additional Training Opportunities

Leading as a Cardinal Workshops

Are you interested in bringing one of our leadership workshops to your student organization, class, staff or department? You can now request a workshop from the Leading as a Cardinal Team! 

Leading as a Cardinal offers a wide variety of workshops - from communication styles to leading an organization to conflict resolution - and they also have the ability to create a workshop or training session that is specific to the needs of your group. The focus of these workshops is to discuss different relevant leadership topics in order to help groups develop key leadership skills needed to work together successfully as a group and we have workshops specific to student organizations and clubs as well. 

These workshops would be ideal for groups of student staff, student leaders, or office/department staff for an upcoming training, in service or if you want to improve the functionality of a group. The focus of these workshops is to discuss different relevant leadership topics in order to help groups develop key leadership skills needed to work together successfully as a group. 

To request a workshop, please fill out this Workshop Request Form. In this form, you can share more about your group, identify the workshop of interest for your group and share your group's availability. To help with the selection of your workshop, you can review the pre-developed workshop topics here to give you an idea of what we can offer in a workshop. If you don’t see a topic for your group, or you want a workshop with more than one of these topics, there will be a section on the form to build your own workshop using these pre-developed workshops and other leadership topics.
