OLA Participant Handbook

LEADING SELF: UNEARTHING LAYERS OF OUR IDENTITY THRU KINOLAU Beginning our leadership cohort journey together, participants will introduce themselves to the group through artifacts that represent their identity. Together, we will learn how to make lau lau and unearth layers of "lau" connections in leadership. Discovery of self and introduction of self to the larger group will take place through kinolau (kino "body" and lau "many") or manifestions of forms in nature, surroundings, environment, and artifacts of the leader ʻ s choosing. We will visit Nāoneala ʻ a at Kāne ʻ ohe Bay, the shores where La ʻ amaikahiki arrived from Tahiti, and weave in stories and values about his leadership. Leaders will walk away with a stronger connection to their environment and kuleana while sharing intimate stories about who we are and why we are here. LEADING IN COMMUNITY: WAYFINDING ʻ O nā hōkū nō nā kiu o ka lani. This experience, which takes place on both land and water, will allow leaders to immerse themselves in the understanding of leading community through the lens of a wayfinder. Learning from kānaka who have sailed on Hōkūle ʻ a and its sister wa ʻ a Hikianalia, leaders will learn both practical and metaphorical lessons from being out on the ocean and using keen evaluative, analytical and observational skills. How does one assess their progress and that of their team or organization? How might you evaluate the winds and tides to better understand where you might need to pivot and change course? We will learn more about how you kilo - look for the signs - and use those key indicators to get feedback, and then use that feedback to inform your work.
