The Dyersburg State Community College Department of Workforce Development will host a special leadership development workshop, “How to Get a Return on Failure,” on Thursday, November 5, from 8 a.m. to noon on the college’s main campus, 1510 Lake Road, in Dyersburg. Based on the leadership principles outlined in John C. Maxwell's book, the workshop is designed to help participants transform setbacks into opportunities for growth and success. The workshop is intended for aspiring leaders as well as experienced professionals currently serving in leadership roles.
Maxwell, a No. 1 New York Times bestselling author, coach, and speaker, is widely recognized as one of the nation’s foremost leadership authorities. Through this workshop, participants will learn practical strategies for developing resilience, leading through challenges, and fostering personal and organizational growth.
The workshop will be facilitated by Randy Bridges, a certified Maxwell speaker, coach, and trainer.
Bridges will guide participants through four key modules:
· See Failure as an Investment
· Keep Success and Failure Together
· Lead Others Through Failure
· Bold Leadership Commitment
Each attendee will receive a participant guide covering all four modules to support note-taking, reflection, and application of concepts discussed during the session.
