We are hiring for our Leadership workshop: Introducing foundational leadership through participation-based exercises. Students engage in live simulations to practice real-time decision-making under pressure. This is not a traditional teaching gig. We don't do "sage on a stage" lectures.

Workshop Highlights Foundational Skills: Moving students from "theoretical" leadership to practical application. Active Participation: Facilitators teach by "cueing and questioning" rather than explaining. Live Simulations: Lead students through pressure-filled scenarios where they must make real-time leadership decisions. Values Discovery: Help students identify their core values and a concrete leadership behavior to practice beyond the program. Who You Are The Facilitator: You have a background in corporate training, executive coaching, higher education, or professional development. The Energy: You know how to keep 15-18 year olds engaged for 90 minutes through high-energy interaction. The Guide: You are comfortable "leading from the back"—allowing students to struggle with decisions before guiding them to the "aha" moment.
