LeaderLabs: Grow Your Skills With Simulated Scenarios

The NMA’s LeaderLabs are guided workshops in which you and your teams are presented with a leadership challenge that begs for innovative solutions. These guided presentationsn are completely free and fun for teams to complete. They also help you earn Continuing Education Units (CEU)! 

The LeaderLabs are exciting, fast-paced scenario-based learning. We recommend having at least 2 teams of 5-8 people… the more teams the better. You also need about one hour to conduct the lab. You can offer prizes to make it more interesting. Click on the classes below for the handouts and more detailed instructions, and as always, contact us if you need any assistance.
