The Sun Lakes Rotary has a variety of interesting speakers each week! During the month of August, there are morning meetings on the 6th and 20th and evening meetings on the 13th and 27th.
Conni Chavez will be the speaker on the evening of August 13. She will be talking about the Leader in Me program and its impact. She is the new representative for Arizona’s Chandler Unified School District, having been with Franklin Covey for over seven years. She began on their corporate side, but upon discovering the dramatic impact Leader in Me has on children’s lives, she moved to Education Practice four years ago. She’s worked to onboard and maintain over 170 LiM schools in California, Montana, Wyoming, Hawaii and now Arizona. “Sharing the principles of Leader in Me and watching the quality of the lives of children and staff members in the education system improve with sustainability is my life’s passion,” she says. Her mission is communicating others’ worth and potential so clearly that they can see it in themselves.
Leader in Me is a program designed for K-6, middle school and high school that introduces kids to Franklin Covey’s seven habits of effective leaders, and has remarkable impact on the students, faculty and administrations who are exposed to it. More than just another program, Leader in Me serves as the foundational operating system that integrates seamlessly into each school’s unique priorities, initiatives and culture. When implemented with excellence, Leader in Me redefines what it means to be a high-performing school in the 21st century. This new definition of school greatness is represented in three overlapping circles: leadership, culture and academics. Leader in Me is a framework that helps schools achieve results by influencing behaviors and paradigms.
This is just a sample of the interesting speakers and topics to be presented by Sun Lakes Rotary in August!
