CONVERSATIONS IN LEADERSHIP
PAGE | 13
The KLI’s Spring Leadership Dialogue Series engaged CMC students in conversation about leadership. The Leadership Dialogues tackled important issues connected to leadership and practicing leadership in real world situations. The Dialogues were a KLI-supported, student-led initiative that featured small group discussions facilitated by KLI students. This semester’s leadership dialogues tackled important issues connected to political leadership and seeking out mentorship and guidance when needed. Fall Leadership Dialogues

What does it mean to be a responsible political leader? What actions do you think political leaders can take to promote collaboration and bipartisan dialogue in an increasingly polarized political landscape? How do gender or race expectations impact voter perceptions in elections, specifically in the 2024 election?
How can we create a respectful atmosphere in light of controversial discussions? Why is it important to thoughtfully create intentional spaces for these discussions? How do you maintain an open perspective despite personal opinions? What traits would be good to demonstrate an open-minded perspective?
LEADERSHIP COACHING
The KLI Leadership Coaching Initiative includes up to five hourly one-on-one coaching sessions for students to develop their leadership potential with a professionally trained and certified leadership coach. Each coach builds a curriculum specific to each student’s personal goals as a leader. Thanks to the success and effectiveness of the program, in 2024 the KLI was able to open leadership coaching to all CMC students. Since then, participation has grown five fold and this semester, there are 57 CMC students working with a coach to refine their leadership approach and vision.
“Leadership coaching has been an amazing experience for me. My coach not only helped me set goals for improving my leadership but also pushed me to follow through on them. I have experienced significant growth in my abilities as a leader, whether it's the confidence with which I face leadership challenges or the skills to conduct constructive dialogue within teams. Overall, it has been a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it!” - Jaden Andrews ‘27
