Growing up in a Christian home, most […]

Leadership theories gave me a wonderful perspective on several different styles, methods, and qualities of leadership that I hadn’t know about. I want to focus on some of the theories discussed in class considering where I was and where I am now as a leader. Servant Leader Servant Leadership has always been something that I’ve […]

My Honors Contract for Communication Leadership and Conflict Management has given me an opportunity to share how I have used or not used what I am learning in class and in our readings in my past leadership positions and in the leadership position I’m in now. I’m really excited to grow and share how what […]

Again, I wanted to post another one of my final papers for my ePortfolio. Google Sites currently isn’t letting me, but since it links to here in the “Things I Write” section, this work. If you’re here from that section, here is my final paper for my Diversity in a Globalized World class. Enjoy!   […]
