Leadership Training Programs
International House offers a variety of leadership training programs open to resident members each year. These professional development opportunities aim to facilitate intercultural experiences and provide ways to explore leadership theory and practice. Selected participants have access to a wide variety of educational experiences which include retreats, classroom-style workshops, training sessions and networking opportunities.
The programs devote special attention to topics such as public speaking, motivating groups, identifying personal leadership styles, conflict management, and cross-cultural communication. Formal training sessions and theoretical discussions are enhanced by the many international perspectives on leadership through participant interaction. Additionally, the participants have opportunities to apply their enhanced skills in the rich multicultural setting of International House.
