At a recent Zoom webinar for student-athletes and conference SAAC members of the Landmark Conference, we focused on redefining leadership and breaking through walls and influences that hinder their productivity on and off the field.
Sarah Twiggs, Associate Commissioner of the Landmark Conference said, “We would like to thank Tom for coming back and presenting to our SAAC group”. “With a lot of unknowns happening right now, it is important to redefine leadership and how we can accomplish that both on and off the field.”
Finally, Hess joined the 16 Landmark SAAC captains to review their personal Energy Leadership Index (ELI) results.
Student-athletes discover why attitude drives behavior which effects their performance. The ELI is an empowering tool to do just this.
Here are some comments from SAAC members:
"I thought that it was very interesting learning about our own leadership styles and comparing them to the rest of the group, as it was clear that many of us lead in similar ways."
"My experience with ELI was positive. I learned a lot about myself and how my attributes lead to the type of leader and person I am. It was interesting to see the SAAC results, mine were exactly the same as our average. I am glad I had the opportunity to participate in this event and look forward to applying what I learned with my teams and SAAC organization."
"I really enjoyed the presentation. It was very interesting and informative. It was interesting to see how the different levels of energy relate to how I am on and off the field. I also enjoyed learning about the levels that I need to work on and how to move up the levels!"
"This ELI presentation was very interesting as it showed me the different levels that the score was referring to. It was good to be able to see what they meant and how my chart related to them and the analysis of each level can allow me to analyze my own energy levels."
"From the session, one of my main takeaways is that our energy leadership level comes from the way we perceive the events around us, and today's report was not permanent, but instead a snapshot in time. I enjoyed learning about how we can shift our mindsets to move between levels and how we can connect the dots between our leadership styles and our roles within SAAC and our athletic teams. I think this is really beneficial in continuing to develop a sense of self-awareness moving forward."
With these uncertain times, we are all challenged with inspiring, motivating and helping our student-athletes be the best leaders they want. Energy Leadership and the ELI are cost effective ways to pique their curiosity and help them make conscious choices about how to enhance their growth now.
