Chambers Partner with Madison College to Offer Leadership Courses to Members

SUN PRAIRIE, WI… The Sun Prairie Chamber of Commerce and the DeForest Windsor Area Chamber have partnered with Madison College to develop an exceptional educational opportunity for members to explore and expand upon leadership skills and network with fellow members from across the Chambers and our communities. Our partners at Madison College have worked with us to create a short and impactful Leadership Development Series, highlighting the latest skills and behaviors associated with some of the most common leadership practices and competencies integral to the success of any business and organization.

The classes will be presented in a hybrid learning format, participants will be exposed to some of the latest practices around several key foundational leadership competencies. Delivered first in a virtual online asynchronous learning module, members will then be invited to share in a facilitated on-line LIVE coaching session with their peers, led by the leadership development instructional team from Madison College. The free-flowing narrative will leverage the material from the online module, and incorporate the working knowledge, experiences, and insight of experienced leaders and practitioners. We’ll dive into the most effective actions and thought processes of great leadership; how to handle conflicts & difficult situations within the workplace; explore what effective communication strategies and practices look & sound like; address the transition from individual contributor to leader; and examine how we manage every-day stress, all through interactive sharing and scenario-based situational leadership coaching.

“The Sun Prairie Chamber is thrilled to collaborate with the DeForest/Windsor Chamber to bring valuable educational offerings to our members through Madison College. With a focus on leadership development, we're empowering businesses and their employees with the skills and resources they need to thrive in today’s competitive landscape,” said Sun Prairie Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Christina Williams.

Chamber members had the option to sign up for one, two or all five modules. Topics will be made available every week, starting with the release of the online learning modules. Links to the online modules and coaching sessions will be sent to paid participants a few days before the beginning of the series.

Online self-paced module will be made available by the Monday preceding the pre-scheduled online LIVE narrative roundtable. Participants MUST be signed-up and payment received prior to the release of the online self-paced module and participation in the virtual narrative sessions.
