Day 2 The day After Day 1

On February 24th 2017 we started out with an Opening Keynote titled "Social Change Leadership 2.0"
There was some rather informative points in which he covered and had the crowd definitely change their personal views on some matters. His name was Joshua Fredenburg as a speaker he was very motivating and highly inspiring. He has a book published titled "Are you the worlds next top leader".

Here is a question that h posed to the audience shortly after the introduction

If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
  • Get rid of stigmas
  • less hate and more happiness
  • women viewed more positive in stem fields
 He spoke a lot on the discussion of the image that is portrayed on fraternity/sorority life. He expressed what are real leaders, and how we are currently shaping the future for our organizations by taking time out of our lives and wanting to grow as leaders and be role models for our personal fraternity/sorority.

The greatest gift the presentation gave to the audience was really reminding all of us of who we truly are. Essentially never forget where we come from.

He was a very impressive and empowering speaker.

A really great quote that he displayed was that "Your value in life is determined by the problems you solve through your gift" ~Myles Munroe

The 2nd Information Session I attended was NGLA Institute 3- Motivating the Middle: Fighting Apathy in Your Chapter ~ TJ Sullivan

TJ has a book published titled "Motivating The Middle"

This presentation truthfully examined chapters between fraternities/sororities discussing the member breakdown. Those who are the Top Third, Middle Third, and Bottom Third. The information was very informative and quite the impact. It was a great observation of everyone to have for their chapter and how to handle and approach certain situations from within. Lack of morale etc.

He also broke down the mistakes of each different member type that they could possibly make towards the other. What did they like and what did they not like?

The third event I attended was titled "7 Keys to crushing your philanthropy event: Proven Strategies TO Take Your Philanthropy To The Next Level"

Explained most issues when someone tries to create a philanthropy event
Discussed how to inspire competition amongst your chapter for fundraising during the event
Marketing/Technological use is of the most importance when it comes to your philanthropic event

Be aware to showcase the actual cause and not just that your hosting an event.

Accountability for fundraising is also a huge thing he emphasized. Find a way to even offer incentives for fundraising.

The final event I had attended on February 24th 2017 was "Inspire Integrity"

It was actually a very inspiring discussion along with all the others.
Emphasizing to live in your means and how it's easier to be other people than it really is yourself sometimes.

Explained that you need to follow what your heart wants. What do you truly want to go after in life
If you go after that then you will never care about the challenge ahead,

Living within your means truly teaches you to quit a job that you do not like.

There was a question posed that I felt had personally made me reflect a lot. That question was "What do you chase"

View life differently than other people do

Spoke about the importance of prioritizing certain parts of your life, and not what you want others to think you prioritize because that's the general expectation of society.

He asked us to think about three things as we walked out of here today
 1) Who do you have in your life that forces you to think deeply
2) Does something every day have your emotions stirred? Something needs to give you goosebumps.
3) Be able and willing to laugh at yourself. Life is short and fleeting. Don't stress over your mistakes and flaws but be able to laugh about them eventually.
