The Association for Experiential Education is a nonprofit, professional membership organization dedicated to experiential education and the students, educators and practitioners who utilize its philosophy. Mr. Krill’s workshop titled “Leadership that Works” will present research linking emotional intelligence, leadership styles and results in the nonprofit workplace. This workshop will explore how to apply the research to practical leadership roles for experiential educators, program directors, or executive directors. The workshop will discuss the relative effectiveness of leadership styles in different settings, and with regards to different situations. This workshop will also explore how a leader’s emotional intelligence may affect his or her ability to employ different leadership styles. This workshop will prepare participants to be more effective leaders in the world of experiential education, no matter what leadership role they play.
