Leading From Your Chapter Room to the Board Room
Practical tools to lead without a title, manage the consequences of leadership, and what makes it all worth it.
Somebody in your chapter already knows. Your members already run budgets, recruit strangers, and make calls with real consequences. So why does the right thing still go unsaid in the room where it counts?
About this keynote
The night his chapter was on the line, BJ Anderson had no title. He stood up anyway, made the motion that put his own name in the consequence, and was expelled from the fraternity for it. A chapter is a leadership rehearsal with a social club attached, and most members waste their reps. This keynote shows them how to start using Greek life for what it really is: practice for every room they’ll ever lead.
Who it’s for
All-chapter programs, new member classes, leadership institutes, and IFC and Panhellenic councils. And the advisors and FSL professionals who defend the value of the Greek experience.
What the room experiences
A true story of real loss, and the lessons and principles that came out of it. Members see what the price of leadership actually costs, what it builds afterward, and how the leadership reps they’re taking in Greek life right now set up their professional lives for success.
Your members will leave with
- Confidence to lead and communicate without a title.
- A drive to get more active in their chapter, and a habit of learning that lasts well past graduation
- One decision they can make in the next thirty days, in this chapter, with these people
Building confidence to reduce risk
They’ve already noticed the thing nobody is saying. They just haven’t decided it’s theirs to say. That decision gets a lot easier once they’ve watched somebody make it and survive. Tell BJ about your event and your community, and you’ll get a straight answer on whether he’s the right person for that room.
