I’ve just spent the last day and a half at the first-ever
Innovative Leadership Conference, hosted by Sons of Norway of Norway and lead
by the very talented David Mann. Let me tell you, if you weren’t able to make
it this year you really missed out on a great event and you should definitely
consider coming to the next one.
Over the course of the last day and a half, all 180
attendees were taken through a series of exercises designed to make us better
communicators, better recruiters, better presenters and better leaders overall.
For me, one of the most engaging moments was when the group
discussed the importance of authenticity. We discussed the elements of
Authenticity, which include clear language, insight, and combining the desires
of our heads and hearts. This is important stuff to know for anyone, no matter
what their profession or background, because without authenticity in the way we
communicate we’ll never be successful in getting our point across. This, in
turn, affects everything we do in Sons of Norway from recruitment and retention
to persuading lodge members to try something new or different.
Above all, I was really impressed by the level of engagement
shown by our members. In attending this event they all showed the level of
their passion for this organization and their dedication to its success. I
applaud everyone who came to Fargo for this first-ever event!
If you weren’t able to attend, you can still learn a bit
about what we did by visiting www.twitter.com/sonsofnorway.
Or by visiting our facebook group. I posted a lot of info there and hope you
enjoy it!
Make sure to keep checking back because I'll be posting information from the International Lodge Meeting over the next few days!
