Leadership Team

Today, if the weather permits, our Leadership Team members will be heading to the center of town with an assignment: Shake at least 10 hands. They will introduce themselves with a small, practiced speech (Hi! My name is _______. As part of our WMMA Leadership Team training, we're shaking hands with people on the Square, wishing them a "Good Morning".). They also will have some brochures and IF the situation warrants it, will be passing them out.

Also, they will get another assignment today: write an article about MMA for our website. (www.WoodstockMixedMartialArts.com) I understand that schools usually take about 8 years to teach essay skills, going through all sorts of hoops with outlines and topic sentences. We're going to bypass a lot of that and work on our copying skills. Good ol' fashioned rote learning has a lot more merit than tradtional school teachers know! I'm planning on allocating about 20 minutes or so...
