QA students attend Leadership Workshop
Sixteen performing arts students
from Queen Anne’s County High School
music department attended a leadership workshop conducted by nationally
known, Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser at
Severna Park High School.
Dr. Lautzenheiser created Attitude Concepts, Incorporated: an organization designed to manage workshops
and seminars on positive attitudes and
effective leadership training.
In a lecture type seminar, interspersed with group activities, the
students learned the importance of
setting high standards of excellence,
fundamentals of self discipline and effective communication principles.
