APO LEADS Courses

In order to participate in the Achieve or Discover LEADS course, participants MUST have completed the APO LEADS LAUNCH course. This can be completed online prior to conference through APO LEADS On-Demand: https://apo.org/leadership-development/apo-leads/

You may only choose ONE (1) LEADS course to participate in on Sunday morning of conference, and it will take the full 3-hour time block, meaning that you will be unable to attend any other sessions being offered at the same time. We will have an interest form sent to everyone once conference registration closes.

Discover

Discovering personal strengths and success skills: This course is a comprehensive training on the strategies of assertive communication and self-motivation. Participants will gain a better understanding of their own and other’s social interaction styles.

Identifying some of the personal success strategies that leaders utilize is the focus of this 3-hour session. DISCOVER will be an opportunity to look at oneself, concentrating on personal strengths and developing a plan for continued personal and professional success while considering:

Personality styles and their interactions
Assertive communication techniques
Personal time management
Stress recognition
Motivation of followers
