PROGRAM SUMMARY
Time’s have changed. It’s no longer enough to just tell students to be courteous, don’t do drugs, and don’t get pregnant. We believe developing character in the next generation must begin with the challenge to lead. To leverage their influence in a positive way.
Habitudes are images that form leadership habits and attitudes. Specifically designed for Generation Y, they teach timeless leadership principles with the power of an image, a conversation, and an experience.
THE PURPOSE
To nurture character-based leaders within the student body, and healthy leadership qualities in your staff and faculty. Ultimately this creates a robust leadership culture on your campus

THE PROGRAM
Perhaps Dr. Leonard Sweet has summarized this generation of students best with his acronym: EPIC. The term is descriptive of how the Millennial Generation thinks, learns and experiences life. To connect with students today, we believe it should be done in an EPIC manner. This generation is: |
| | | | E: Experiential: They want an experience, not just information
| | | | | P: Participatory: They want to participate in outcomes, not just hear a lecture
| | | | | I: Image-driven: They are driven by images and pictures more than words
| | | | | C: Connected: They are relationally connected and want to work in team
|
Most students are visual learners. They like to see a picture, not just hear a word. In fact, Dr. Sweet says that images are the language of the 21st century, not words. Habitudes uses powerful pictures to teach leadership truths and character principles in an EPIC fashion that is engaging and memorable. As a result, students remember the content and are inspired and equipped to build their character and use their influence to lead others well.
The Habitudes series was created to be used by students, school faculty and staff in small groups or mentoring communities. The series includes:
• Book One: The Art of Self-Leadership
• Book Two: The Art of Connecting with Others (Available January 2010)
• Book Three: The Art of Leading Others (Available Fall 2010)
• Book Four: The Art of Changing Culture (Available Fall 2010)
Based on our experience in schools around the country, Habitudes is an effective training tool because:
• Habitudes enables you to teach leadership in a simple and brief period of time.
• Habitudes can spark discussion that goes as deep as the maturity of your students.
• Habitudes provides an image, interactive discussion and an exercise to participate in together.
• Habitudes offers a set of transferable concepts that students can teach as well.
