3 Credits · Level: Graduate

The purpose of the Designing Your Life & the Science of Positivity course is to change you! We intend to change the way you think about problems, opportunities, and yourself. More to the point, the intent of this experience is to take you on a personal leadership journey that will help you gain clarity around your leadership goals/objectives, your personal vision/mission, and the action plan to get you there. In this two-week ILE, we plan to immerse you in a journey of exploration, discovery and assessment of your leadership skills and abilities. We will pursue several learning goals during the weeks we are together. As a result of the class, we expect that you will: • Learn time-tested, research-based tools to help you develop your leadership capabilities. • Explore the science of positivity and tools/techniques to help you to become a more effective leader. • Design, Act, Reflect, and Experiment with new habits that help you D.A.R.E. to be your best self and a more effective experiential coach. • Understand the elements important in creating an innovative, feedback-rich, resilient team culture, and be able to foster such an environment wherever you go. • Gain more intentionality in the choices you make communicating within team and organizational settings and be in a better position to evaluate potential outcomes. Beyond these formal objectives, we hope this course gives you a better sense of the difference between intentionality and perception of behavior, how much your behavior signals who you are to the outside world, and ultimately, how much positive, creative impact you can have on the folks and organizations around you.
