The Fullerton Chamber of Commerce has kicked off the 2012-2013 Leadership Fullerton Program with Janine McDonald, affiliate consultant of OneOC, as their opening presenter.   The program introduces professionals to the centers of influence in the Fullerton community and helps them gain a broader understanding of their community and how it functions.\n\nOver the next nine months, the 16 participants will tour key city organizations and learn about education, healthcare, public safety, arts and culture, business and volunteerism in their city.  They will learn how to build coalitions around an issue or idea and create impact in the community where they work and live.\n\nThe program also serves as an opportunity for each person to develop their leadership competencies.  The challenge for leaders is to understand themselves well enough to discover where they can use their leadership gifts to serve others.  Through interactive exercises and reflection, McDonald helped participants gain self-awareness about their leadership style and strengths.\n\nShe’ll be back for a second session focused on leadership development in December.\n
