About Miami's Recreation Leadership Academy

The Miami Recreation Leadership Academy is an invitation to join the club and a call to action. If you’ve made it this far you have both the power and responsibility to make your corner of the world a little better. This program sets out to provide a little direction and motivation, a chance to reflect on what makes you tick, a set of resources, and an introduction to broader leadership strategies (listed below).

  • The Authentic Leader: Transforming beliefs and strengths into an authentic voice and flexible style that works well in a variety of situations.  
  • The Community Leader: Transforming teamwork concepts into building a legacy that extends to all team members and the supporting cast. 
  • The Innovative Leader: Transforming critical thinking skills into creative problem solving and implementation that aligns with the organization mission and functions in the real world. 
  • The Connected Leader: Transforming communication into a message that instills trust and building the systems to create a high performing team. 

The program consists of a 90 minute introductory session that opens the door to a variety of resources and sets you on a path to create a blueprint for leadership identity and context. Great ideas in the areas of health, recreation, sport and wellness can even use this program as a path to staffing and funding support.
