Here's what people are saying about these lessons:
"Those of us who have been in offices and cubicles for years already
know how hard leadership is. Tim provides those who haven't even yet
earned their stripes through the obstacle course of leadership through
their roles in student organizations. If you are a sponsor of a
student group, be it a sports league, fraternity/sorority, student
government, whatever... this is a must read... and Tim is somebody you
need to get to know."

SCLT Lesson Descriptions
SCLT1.0 - The Anticipation Season Lessons
Prepare
your student leaders as they get ready to embark on their leadership
journey. Set the tone with quality training and begin to point your
students toward becoming leaders on their campus and in their culture. This set contains five lessons on the topics of: Character, Vision, Pay Attention, Expectations, and Recruitment.
SCLT1.1 - Character
If everything rises and falls on leadership, then everything in leadership is dependant upon the leader's character. Character is the foundation of successful leadership.
SCLT1.2 - Vision
Everyone has a vision of what they'd like the future to look like. Student leaders should be encouraged to see an upcoming event in their mind's eye - to imagine what it will look like for that event to be successful.
SCLT1.3 - Paying Attention
Effective student leaders make the effort to become better at paying attention to the people they lead. They spend time interacting with the world around them.
SCLT1.4 - Expectations
This lesson challenges student leaders to take ownership and responsibility for the expectations of themselves and their team. While mindful of the expectations of others they must be able to manage expectations as well.
SCLT1.5 - Recruitment
Before student leaders can run out and start asking people to get involved, they need to do their homework. Half the job of successful recruitment is know what needs to be done. Every recruiting effort needs a plan.
SCLT2.0 - The Implementation Season Lessons
Your student leaders are up their necks in activities and the responsibilities of their position. Take time out each week to give them the tools they need to operate at optimum levels. This is an exciting time - make it even better with leadership tools they can put to use immediately. This set contains five lessons on the topics of: Personal Management, Equipping, Preparation, Effective Communication, and Delegation.
SCLT2.1 - Personal Management
This lesson challenges student leaders to develop a personal management plan - learning how to manage all of the ideas, projects, events, assignments, tasks, appointments, and obligations they have.
SCLT2.2 - Equipping
Equipping is much more than making sure a person is properly trained. It also includes such things as providing the right resources and the authority to manage those resources.
SCLT2.3 - Preparation
This lesson focuses on the value of preparation as a leader. Student leaders who understand how to properly prepare will be ready when opportunities come. The way one prepares has a direct impact on performance.
SCLT2.4 - Effective Communication
Communication is most effective when one begins to break down the barriers that frequently occur in the communication process. This lesson will help student leaders recognize some of those barriers.
SCLT2.5 - Delegation
Student leaders have the freedom (should have the freedom) to delegate a lot of their work - but they still retain the ultimate responsibility for the completion of the work. This lesson shows them how to do that.
SCLT3.0 - The Fluctuation Season Lessons
As the student leader year continues, momentum starts to fade and problems arise. Student leaders may fall into the trap of living from event to event. This set contains five lessons on the topics
of: Balance, Values, Problem Solving, Relational Communication, and Accountability.
SCLT3.1 - Balance
The circumstances of life have a way of pushing student leaders toward chaos. This lesson will provide tools and guidelines for your student leaders to keep a consistent, healthy lifestyle on a daily basis in all areas of life.
SCLT3.2 - Values
During the fluctuation season a student leader must have a clear sense of one's values. This lesson assists student leaders in clarifying their values as a catalyst for developing influence and guiding their decisions.
SCLT3.3 - Problem Solving
Problems provide an opportunity for leadership. This lesson will help student leaders develop a proper perspective and strategy when approaching problems. One's approach will establish or detract from leadership.
SCLT3.4 - Relational Communication
Proper communication in relationships takes work. This lesson will help student leaders develop communication strategies during times of tension, disagreement, and conflict.
SCLT3.5 - Accountability
Student leaders must develop accountability systems early on. This lesson will assist your leaders in developing effective personal accountability and accountability for others even when it's uncomfortable.
SCLT4.0 - The Evaluation Season Lessons
The student leader reaches the middle of the year and begins to realize all that was planned and hoped for may not take place. It is a time where a student leader must measure what's most important in the time remaining. A student leader begins to makes some decisions about how much can realistically be accomplished and one's own investment. This set contains five lessons on the topics
of: Priorities, Momentum, Leading Change, Listening, and Focus On Strengths.
SCLT4.1 - Priorities
At this point in the year, student leaders don't have a lot of time left. Understanding the value and process of prioritizing will help a student leader to best evaluate one's obligations. This lesson will help your student leaders understand that they can't do everything, but they can do the most important things.
SCLT4.2 - Momentum
Momentum naturally occurs at the beginning of the school year when everyone is excited. But momentum is often elusive and mysterious in the middle of the year. Use this lesson to help your student leaders build, grow, develop, keep, and maintain momentum.
SCLT4.3 - Leading Change
Change is one of the biggest reasons why student leadership is so necessary. A new idea, a small improvement, or a full scale movement. Each change brings the hard work of moving the entire group or organization in the same direction. This lesson will guide a student leader through the process of successfully implementing change.
SCLT4.4 - Listening
The student leader's best communication skill isn't the ability to speak, but the ability to listen. Learning to listen is hard work. This lesson will discuss many of the important reasons why listening is a vital tool of leadership along with practical ways to engage in actively listening.
SCLT4.5 - Focus On Strengths
By this point in the student leader year, a student leader should be able to recognize one's strengths and weaknesses. It is important during the Evaluation Season for the student leader to focus on one's strengths rather than weaknesses. This is a significant and intentional shift in traditional thinking. This lesson will teach your student leaders the benefits that this shift can bring about.
SCLT5.0 - The Determination Season Lessons
This may be the most difficult season in the student leader year. A student leader can begin to see the end in sight, but there's still work to be done. The election and selection processes start to unfold for next year's student leaders, but the current student leaders need to finish what they've started. A student leader's commitment will be tested. This set contains five lessons on the topics of: Self-Discipline, Excellence, Paying The Price, Motivation, and Teamwork.
SCLT5.1 - Self-Discipline
Self-discipline guides a student leader through the effort of accomplishing the things that need to get done even when the student leader doesn't want to do them (or feel like doing them). This lesson will assist student leaders with creating a habit of self-discipline that one can rely on during the difficult times.
SCLT5.2 - Excellence
A student leader may not be the best at something, but that shouldn't stop him or her from being excellent, for doing one's best. This lesson will help student leaders to demonstrate excellence through the results they achieve and the effort through which they achieve them.
SCLT5.3 - Paying The Price
It takes courage and some risk to step into a student leadership position. Each opportunity comes with a price tag. This lesson focuses on what it means to pay the price in student leadership. It is only those students who stay the course and continue to do what needs to be done that end up making the biggest difference.
SCLT5.4 - Motivation
Some people may have a tendency to see the end and start to check out a little early. It is the student leader that can keep everyone on track and on task that will see the benefit in the end. This lesson will help student leaders tap into the internal motivation that lies inside each team member.
SCLT5.5 - Teamwork
One person can only do so much, but a team of people can accomplish bigger goals and bigger dreams. This lesson assists student leaders with the work of molding a group of individuals into a team. It will show them various ways to keep the team engaged and committed, working toward common goals through each person's unique strengths and perspectives.
SCLT6.0 - The Separation Season Lessons
Every student leader leaves and every student leadership year comes to an end. This is a bittersweet season of transition for student leaders. These lessons focus on helping student leaders finish well and provide a framework for a strong transition. During this final season of the student leadership year, a student leader can make a lasting impact that will live on after the leader has left. This set contains five lessons on the topics of: Finishing Strong, Legacy, Celebration, Experience, and Potential Leaders.
SCLT6.1 - Finishing Strong
People remember how a student leader begins and finishes. Use this lesson to help student leaders know what to focus on as their student leadership year ends and how to pass the baton successfully to the next group of leaders.
SCLT6.2 - Legacy
When the effects of a student's leadership are felt by others, will it be positive or negative? A student leader's legacy will be determined by the type of leadership one lives. This lesson will remind student leaders that their legacy is what they leave behind when they leave.
SCLT6.3 - Celebration
Taking time to celebrate success and accomplishments makes team members feel that their work is significant and meaningful. This lesson offers practical ways that a student leader can implement an intentional plan for celebrating people and their efforts.
SCLT6.4 - Experience
A student leader's experience is unique and personal. When a student leader takes the time to reflect and evaluate one's experiences, they provide valuable lessons that can be learned and passed on to others. This lesson helps a student leader make the most of the experiences that occur throughout one's student leadership year.
SCLT6.5 - Potential Leaders
One of the ways that a student leader can demonstrate great leadership is by raising up other leaders. It can be difficult to know who has the capacity and capability to lead in the future. This lesson serves as a guide to assist student leaders in knowing what to look for in identifying potential leaders.
