Deliberate practice exercises are a powerful way to improve student leadership and interpersonal skills. Deliberate practice is a highly focused activity undertaken with the goal of improving specific aspects of personal performance. Deliberate practice exercises are assigned to students for repetition outside the classroom during their normal activities and interactions. Deliberate practice is powerful because in terms of dual process theories it harnesses the intention of higher order thinking to change automatic and habitual behaviors. Examples of behaviors that can be improved by deliberate practice include: leading with humility, personal communication, and vision and purpose. During the session participants will experiment with extant exercises and learn to create new exercises that improve student skills.
