NCSL FALL 2013 Conference2
Welcome to the 76th assembly of the National Conference on Student
Leadership. By choosing to join us here in Arlington you have an opportunity to grow
as a leader, as a student, and as a member of your community. Take advantage of this
opportunity: show up for every session, keep an open mind, and engage with your
fellow delegates and presenters.
5 tips for getting the most value from being here …
1. Grow Your Network. We encourage you to meet and network with other
conference delegates by attending the keynotes, welcome reception, workshop
sessions, shared meals, and special events. Set goals for the kinds of connections
you want to make. Reach out to other delegates fearlessly and plan how you will
follow up with them.
2. Get Smarter. Use the conference app or the planning grid on pages 8 and 9 in
this program to create your Friday and Saturday workshop schedule. Be prepared
to take notes with pen and paper or your tablet. Discuss the sessions with others.
Introduce yourself to speakers and ask questions.
3. Share Content. To get the most out of each session, plan to share content with
your team. You’ll learn more and multiply the value of one person attending a
workshop. Knowing that you will share new information helps you focus on
takeaways and practical information.
4. Practice Leadership Skills. Be a model for what you know and what you learn
here. Moved by a speaker? Shake the speaker’s hand and share your appreciation.
Go beyond what’s comfortable and grow your network. Participate in every
event while you’re here then work with your team to leverage your conference
experience when you get back to campus.
5. Arrive on Time. Be present and be ready. Being on time is a life skill and shows
you are dependable, your respect for others, and builds your self-confidence.
Plan your schedule ahead of time and plan to be on time.
We hope that you’ll come away energized, with renewed enthusiasm for getting things
done, and committed to taking your leadership to another level when you get back to
campus.

NCSL FALL 2013 Conference 5
Conference Learning Outcomes
The Social Change Model of Leadership
NCSL student workshop content is grounded in the Social Change Model of leadership.
This model is comprised of seven components that are divided into three groups of values:
individual growth, group development, and societal change or civic-mindedness. All
workshops fall into one of the three value groups, and are labelled by type in the program to
help you create your conference schedule.
Individual Growth
Consciousness of self: an understanding of your own strengths, values, and abilities
Congruence: the process of aligning your actions with your beliefs
Commitment: making promises and following through to completion
Group Development
Collaboration: the process of working with others, using group members’ strengths, and
sharing responsibilities
Common Purpose: working toward shared goals, creating a shared vision that empowers
all members
Controversy with Civility: allowing for disagreement, using conflict to create change,
respecting the values and opinions of others.
Civic-mindedness
Societal Change/Community: seeing a connection between your actions and the greater
good, understanding the higher purpose of your work
beyond your immediate surroundings.
Reflection on Learning
Use the forms provided at the back of this program to record what you are learning in the
workshops and keynote presentations. The form is designed to help focus on “3 big ideas”
and helps you document your thoughts or reactions to those main points. Reflect on how
you can apply these ideas and write down your questions for further exploration on the topic.
Write down your reason for attending the workshop when you enter the session as a way to
focus on the information you’re looking for. Each workshop falls into one of three types:
individual growth, group development, or civic-mindedness.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
Are You the World’s Next Top Leader?
Joshua Fredenburg, Vision XY
For the past one hundred years, one of the primary reasons why
different generations of people have been able to overcome and
solve various problems within their respected generation is
because they have always had great leaders that stepped up and
were prepared to effectively serve as leaders. Similar to
generations of the past, if members of this current generation are
going to overcome and solve some of the major issues affecting
our communities, nation and world today, it’s going to take great
leaders who have the skill set and ability to lead in the 21st
Century. Joshua Fredenburg provides emerging leaders with a
solid definition of leadership and understanding of the
importance of effective leadership in today’s job market and
society. Learn practical skills focusing on the inner leader, the
operational leader, the relational leader, and the spiritual leader
to become empowered, excited, and inspired to become a great
leader of the 21st Century to make a positive impact in your
community, nation and world.

Dance Floor Theory
Tom Krieglstein, Swift Kick, LLC
Like being on a dance floor, every college student experiences
varying levels of engagement, from those fully involved (student
leaders), to those lurking on the edge (apathetic students). The
same tactics to create successful social change on a dance floor
(connections, relevancy, models of success, and motivation) also
work to increase engagement within any college. Dance Floor
Theory provides student leaders and advisors a new model for
creating community, increasing student engagement, and fostering
a culture of retention.

More Action, Less Title
James Robilotta, CAMPUSPEAK

leave with a plan for how to impact the members of your group that includes boosting
morale and increasing retention.
Learning Goals
1. Acquire the skill of showing appreciation for greater group productivity and retention
2. Implement PHEAM: posture, handshake, and an attitude makes you memorable
3. Discover how to challenge members to bring about ownership over the success or failure of
the group

STUDENT WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS – BLOCK 1
How to Build Your Personal Brand
Armond Mosley, Kingdom Workshops, LLC
Conference Theater
What do Apple, Coca-Cola, and BMW all have in common? They are extremely successful, global
companies. Why? Because they have strong brands. No matter where you go in the world, Apple
products are innovative, Coca-Cola tastes great, and BMW’s are luxurious. And just like these
companies, in order to be an extremely effective and successful leader, you will need a strong
personal brand. A personal brand so strong that no matter where you are or what organization
you're leading, you will be able to achieve excellent results through your leadership of people. But,
what is a personal brand? And how do you build it? In this seminar, Armond will teach you what
a personal brand is, how you can build it, how to use it for personal and professional success, and
how to protect it to ensure your sustained success.
Learning Goals
1. Describe the elements of a personal brand
2. Apply strategies to build your brand
3. Maintain your focus for successful leadership from campus to career

Creating and Sustaining Productive Teams
Joe Urbanski, Collegiate Empowerment
Potomac 3/4
Common sense is not always common practice. In this workshop you’ll learn strategies you can
apply for creating and sustaining productive teams, beginning with communication and
collaboration, in order to break down boundaries to engagement. Champion sports teams do it
right. Successful musical groups do it right. Professional experts do it right. Global leaders do it
right. It’s your turn to learn the secret. Learn this new model to focus on your talents – your core
genius – because life’s too short to do it any other way.
Learning Goals
1. Discover how focusing on well-roundedness and multi-tasking prevent you from getting to the
next level
2. Explore cutting-edge dynamics of your genius profile to do your best work and collaboration
3. Cultivate trust for a more productive and efficient team
Type: Group Development
Making the Impossible Possible
Sahil Dhingra, The Potentialists
Potomac 5/6
Today’s leaders need to be able to see the bigger picture and where their organization is heading. In
this workshop, a focus on setting a vision and mission will help participants create meaningful and
relevant goals. Beginning in a space of possibility, we will establish a clear, specific, and succinct
vision as a powerful tool to help you create a future that would otherwise not exist. Next, setting a
mission and practicing articulating it in a safe workshop setting, will helps participants design a
navigation plan to steer towards their ambitious goals and make them a reality. Overall, this
interactive workshop will help you take your big ideas and translate them into powerful words, and
give you the confidence you need to do great things this next school year.
Learning Goals

NCSL is pleased to host a showing of this award winning film, followed by a discussion.
From a snowy small town in Northern Michigan to the mountains of Afghanistan and back, Where
Soldiers Come From follows the four-year journey of childhood friends, forever changed by a faraway war.
Enticed by a $20,000 signing bonus and the college tuition support, best friends Dominic and Cole join
the National Guard after graduating from their rural high school. After several of their friends join them,
the young men are sent to Afghanistan, where they spend their days sweeping for roadside bombs. By the
time their deployment ends, they are no longer the carefree group of friends they were before they were
sent to Afghanistan. Repeated bombs blowing up under and around their convoys have led to the new
silent signature wound of the Afghan war, Traumatic Brain Injury, and they have all become increasingly
disillusioned about their mission.
The challenges really begin to surface when they return to their families and communities in Michigan
and try to fit back into their daily routines. Where Soldiers Come From looks beyond the guns and
policies of an ongoing war to examine the war’s effect on the future of these young men, their parents
and loved ones, and the whole community when young people go off to fight.
Where Soldiers Come From, winner of an Emmy for its POV broadcast in 2011 and the 2011
Independent Spirit Truer Than Fiction Award, is a co-production of Quincy Hill Films and ITVS, in
association with American Documentary | POV.

  • 4. NCSL FALL 2013 Conference2 Welcome to the 76th assembly of the National Conference on Student Leadership. By choosing to join us here in Arlington you have an opportunity to grow as a leader, as a student, and as a member of your community. Take advantage of this opportunity: show up for every session, keep an open mind, and engage with your fellow delegates and presenters. 5 tips for getting the most value from being here … 1. Grow Your Network. We encourage you to meet and network with other conference delegates by attending the keynotes, welcome reception, workshop sessions, shared meals, and special events. Set goals for the kinds of connections you want to make. Reach out to other delegates fearlessly and plan how you will follow up with them. 2. Get Smarter. Use the conference app or the planning grid on pages 8 and 9 in this program to create your Friday and Saturday workshop schedule. Be prepared to take notes with pen and paper or your tablet. Discuss the sessions with others. Introduce yourself to speakers and ask questions. 3. Share Content. To get the most out of each session, plan to share content with your team. You’ll learn more and multiply the value of one person attending a workshop. Knowing that you will share new information helps you focus on takeaways and practical information. 4. Practice Leadership Skills. Be a model for what you know and what you learn here. Moved by a speaker? Shake the speaker’s hand and share your appreciation. Go beyond what’s comfortable and grow your network. Participate in every event while you’re here then work with your team to leverage your conference experience when you get back to campus. 5. Arrive on Time. Be present and be ready. Being on time is a life skill and shows you are dependable, your respect for others, and builds your self-confidence. Plan your schedule ahead of time and plan to be on time. We hope that you’ll come away energized, with renewed enthusiasm for getting things done, and committed to taking your leadership to another level when you get back to campus.

  • 7. NCSL FALL 2013 Conference 5 Conference Learning Outcomes The Social Change Model of Leadership NCSL student workshop content is grounded in the Social Change Model of leadership. This model is comprised of seven components that are divided into three groups of values: individual growth, group development, and societal change or civic-mindedness. All workshops fall into one of the three value groups, and are labelled by type in the program to help you create your conference schedule. Individual Growth Consciousness of self: an understanding of your own strengths, values, and abilities Congruence: the process of aligning your actions with your beliefs Commitment: making promises and following through to completion Group Development Collaboration: the process of working with others, using group members’ strengths, and sharing responsibilities Common Purpose: working toward shared goals, creating a shared vision that empowers all members Controversy with Civility: allowing for disagreement, using conflict to create change, respecting the values and opinions of others. Civic-mindedness Societal Change/Community: seeing a connection between your actions and the greater good, understanding the higher purpose of your work beyond your immediate surroundings. Reflection on Learning Use the forms provided at the back of this program to record what you are learning in the workshops and keynote presentations. The form is designed to help focus on “3 big ideas” and helps you document your thoughts or reactions to those main points. Reflect on how you can apply these ideas and write down your questions for further exploration on the topic. Write down your reason for attending the workshop when you enter the session as a way to focus on the information you’re looking for. Each workshop falls into one of three types: individual growth, group development, or civic-mindedness.

Sahil facilitates Connection Challenges as an experiential and fun way for people to approach one another and start meaningful conversations.

Joshua Fredenburg, Vision XY For the past one hundred years, one of the primary reasons why different generations of people have been able to overcome and solve various problems within their respected generation is because they have always had great leaders that stepped up and were prepared to effectively serve as leaders. Similar to generations of the past, if members of this current generation are going to overcome and solve some of the major issues affecting our communities, nation and world today, it’s going to take great leaders who have the skill set and ability to lead in the 21st Century. Joshua Fredenburg provides emerging leaders with a solid definition of leadership and understanding of the importance of effective leadership in today’s job market and society. Learn practical skills focusing on the inner leader, the operational leader, the relational leader, and the spiritual leader to become empowered, excited, and inspired to become a great leader of the 21st Century to make a positive impact in your community, nation and world.

NCSL FALL 2013 Conference26 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Thursday, April 3 Regency E-F Center Ballroom WHERE SOLDIERS COME FROM - Documentary Film Showing and Discussion NCSL is pleased to host a showing of this award winning film, followed by a discussion. From a snowy small town in Northern Michigan to the mountains of Afghanistan and back, Where Soldiers Come From follows the four-year journey of childhood friends, forever changed by a faraway war. Enticed by a $20,000 signing bonus and the college tuition support, best friends Dominic and Cole join the National Guard after graduating from their rural high school. After several of their friends join them, the young men are sent to Afghanistan, where they spend their days sweeping for roadside bombs. By the time their deployment ends, they are no longer the carefree group of friends they were before they were sent to Afghanistan. Repeated bombs blowing up under and around their convoys have led to the new silent signature wound of the Afghan war, Traumatic Brain Injury, and they have all become increasingly disillusioned about their mission. The challenges really begin to surface when they return to their families and communities in Michigan and try to fit back into their daily routines. Where Soldiers Come From looks beyond the guns and policies of an ongoing war to examine the war’s effect on the future of these young men, their parents and loved ones, and the whole community when young people go off to fight. Where Soldiers Come From, winner of an Emmy for its POV broadcast in 2011 and the 2011 Independent Spirit Truer Than Fiction Award, is a co-production of Quincy Hill Films and ITVS, in association with American Documentary | POV.
