Artifact 1: Below is a link to an essay that I wrote over effective leadership and what it looks like. I used strategies from this essay to improve my leadership skills and focus on my professional norms/ethics. When I began writing, I thought about how good leaders will be effective by keeping their missions in front of them. When leaders are guided by a positively solid mission, and can rally the people with them, then anything can be achievable.

Artifact 2: As a small group, my cohort members and I made a People Skills Improvement Presentation to help staff members connect, learn, and grow professionally. The presentation uses demographics from a school district in which one of our members works in. The goal is to allow for positive change when it comes to staff norms/interactions. In addition to this, the presentation focuses on using data to guide new decisions that are considered for implementation.
