Student Leadership Program
Team Leadership Certificate
Winter 2012

A free non-credit certificate program open to all TRU students. To qualify to receive the certificate students must: 

Attend all 5 team leadership workshops. Each workshop is approximately three hours in length.

    Workshop topics include: 

• Team Building – This workshop is offered only once and attendance is mandatory. This workshop will explore how effective teams are built, the stage of group development, group norms and team dynamics, and the roles found within a team. 
• Group Facilitation –This workshop will look at the components of running an effective meeting, the role of a facilitator, and potential facilitation challenges.
• Motivating Others and Building on Group Diversity – This workshop will look at the importance of knowing what motivates your group members and motivational strategies that can be used. The workshop will also look at the inevitable diversity found in teams and explore how to use that diversity to accomplish your team goals.
• Conflict Management and Problem Solving– This workshop will explore conflict in team settings by looking at conflict styles, sources of conflict and obstacles to conflict resolution. You will also explore how to create a culture that promotes open dialogue to prevent destructive conflict and encourage resolution of problems.  
• Public Speaking and Preparation for Group Presentation – This workshop will prepare students to be better public speakers and will allow time for students to agree on how the final group project will be presented.

Participate in a group project that will require meeting with your team outside of the workshops. There will be a group presentation of the final results of your group work at the end of the certificate.

Submit a short personal reflection paper at the end of the certificate.
