Rejuvenation, Grounding and Wellness – Strengthening the Movement
Jillene Joseph, Executive Director, Native Wellness Institute
This session focuses on building leadership through personal and
professional development. The session will include leadership, healthy
communication, healthy conflict resolution, establishing healthy worksite
norms and behaviors, defining concepts such as professionalism and respect,
understanding where unhealthy behaviors come from, learning and building a
sense of team and trust and learning how to move forward in a productive
way. There are many definitions of leadership, one being “to teach and
inspire.” NWI believes that all individuals, whether you are an elected tribal
official, executive director, grass roots advocate or other, has the opportunity
to develop leadership skills in order to more effectively contribute in a
positive manner to the community and the work in the domestic violence
field.
