Sponsored by Western Oregon University - Division of Extended Programs
This workshop is offered as part of the Leadership Garden® Legacy "Family" Empowerment Series. The Leadership Garden is a metaphor for leadership development with grandparents as the natural stewards of family legacy.
By making the abstract concrete and connecting to nature, the workshop is designed to harness the U.N.I.Q.U.E. (understanding, nurturing, inventive, quality, unstoppable, expression) power of unconditional love, wisdom, and leadership of grandparents both at home and in the community.
In an eight-step process grandparents will attend to the age-old questions who am I, how do I matter, and what is my purpose, as well as what does it really mean to be a leader and how can that make a difference in my life, especially for my family and grandchildren.
The workshop blends metaphor, fable, exercises, discussion, coaching, and playfulness to provide a life affirming educational experience.
