Cornerstone Seminar 2017

So many of us are stuck in a rut when it comes to program design - we use the same predictable methods, plugging in new content. In this session you'll experience a menu of innovative program modalities that you can bring back to your Cornerstone cohort, regardless of what content you're trying to get across to your participants. We'll also talk about how you as a facilitator can present and lead with the ultimate impact, even when you're not an expert in the content at hand. This is an opportunity to fill your tool box with new ideas, and to hone your skills in crafting and facilitating programs of all kinds.

Together in this session we will play with different models of leadership. We will explore what we need in different situations to move us forward.

NOTE: This is "Bite Sized Training" is for Full-Time Year-Round Professionals. This PD time will offer Liaisons who work year-round for their camp a short discussion relating to Cornerstone management. The balance of the time block can be used to answer emails, make phone calls, and network with other camp professionals.

Learn about and design a process to help keep your Fellows engaged and accountable while implementing the Cornerstone Action Plan. Come learn this system for success and build your summer plan.

What makes the difference between a successful plan and a less successful one? This session explores the two pieces you have to get right for any plan to succeed: choosing the right goal and setting up a step-by-step sequence for getting everything done and getting it done on time. We will explore techniques for setting goals that are both worthwhile and realistic, and develop tools for making sure everyone stays accountable to the plan.

This session offers meeting facilitation skills and strategies that bring the action plan to life. Includes: using regular meetings to managing peers, projects and possibilities.

We all want our staff to succeed, but success takes a willingness to grow. How we challenge and support our staff through that growth makes a huge difference. In this session we will explore communication strategies that will provide us with tools to give and receive feedback effectively.
