Curriculum:
Missouri’s Breakthrough Leadership program was developed to engage new to state government team members who are interested in developing their public service careers. The program embraces the three core pillars of leadership through Lead Self, Lead Others, and Lead Change. Breakthrough Leadership participants will gain a stronger focus on the pillar of Lead Self and further explore the three pillars through the lens of service to others.
The Breakthrough Leadership program takes an experiential approach to course delivery, proven to have an impact on personal growth. Participants will connect and collaborate across the three-day program, and beyond.
- Day 1 Explores personal behavior through DISC, self-limiting beliefs, and the importance of networking.
- Day 2 Introduces participants to legislative and budget processes through interactive, educational activities.
