Elevate your Leadership
For the sixth year, K-State Extension is partnering with the Kansas Leadership Center (KLC) to offer our agents, staff, and specialists the opportunity to participate in KLC training. KLC's unique curriculum empowers participants to authorize themselves to lead. It begins with the principles that leadership is an activity, not a position, and that anyone can lead at any time, anywhere. Participants develop soft skills of engagement, communication, and collaboration, including competencies that everyone can learn and leverage – from asking powerful questions and making multiple interpretations, to acting experimentally and making leadership less risky for others. And since progress on the toughest challenges requires stakeholders who disagree to work together, KLC demonstrates how to engage productively and build trust with those whose values, beliefs, and loyalties may differ from your own.
The classes on the KLC Leadership Path are sequential; more than one class may be taken in a year as long as space is available. The discount code for K-State Extension employees is KSRE2026. Participation is limited to slots available. The classes earlier in the year are more likely to be available, so make plans now. Participants are responsible for their own travel costs and any required textbooks.
