Workshopping Leadership Skills and Team Dynamics to Best Support Your Participants - Online Classroom

6:00-7:30pm PST via Zoom Meeting
Meeting link will be sent to registered attendees the day of the session.

Leading and teaching adults can be an exciting and challenging affair in any context—let alone in the wild wilderness of the Pacific Northwest’s rugged mountains! Join IFMGA Mountain Guide Lyra Pierotti for an interactive workshop on leadership skills, group dynamics, and the complexities of managing risk in the mountains. Lyra has 20 years of experience guiding and teaching adults in the mountains. This session will involve a pre-workshop survey which will help to frame the conversations and personalize the session. Come with questions and stories and problems to solve in a group setting--and with Lyra as a sounding board and a wealth of weird experiences.

Seminar Notes

This presentation will encourage attendees to speak up throughout the presentation and be interactive with prompting discussion questions interspersed within lecture segments. Breakout rooms will be used.
