ODL-685 Personal Leadership Development I

2 semester credits


The ODL personal development leadership series is a sustaining and distinctive thread that runs throughout the entire ODL journey. Personal Leadership Development I will focus on community building, relationship development, and fostering deeper understanding of Fielding’s history, values and culture. Students practice accessing and increasing self-awareness about their personal history, their current stage of personal development, and their desired future. They engage creatively in learning about themselves, discovering their preferences, evoking their dreams and aspirations, and becoming clear about their gifts and talents. The series is designed to assist students to integrate what they are learning as an ODL student, broaden and deepen their knowledge and skills, and introduce them to the process of inquiry and different ways of knowing as they begin to think about their final project and advance their learning plan.
