Movement: Exploring leadership through the art of tango
5:30pm to 8:30pm @
Cornerstone Center for the Arts
Third Floor, Grand Hall
520 E Main, Muncie, IN 47305
Cost: $25 per person Cornerstone Center for the Arts, Shafer Leadership Academy, and Harmony Dance Group will partner this spring for a unique leadership workshop through tango dancing. The workshop titled, Movement: Exploring leadership through the art of tango, will be on Tuesday, February 21 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Cornerstone Center for the Arts in the Grand Hall.
This three-hour long program is designed to increase an individual’s understanding of leadership, following, and two way communications through the use of tango dancing as a metaphor and teaching tool. The workshop is not a dance class but a lesson in leadership through the fundamentals of the art form. Participants will leave with a better concept of leadership which they can apply to their business and personal lives.
In addition, participants will walk away with a clear understanding of the difference between management and leadership, a recognition of the two-way nature of communication in all forms of leader and follower connections, tools to diagnose breakdowns in communication between leaders and followers, and active advice on how to re-establish trust and confidence in team members and to build up communication within a group.
This workshop is open to anyone seeking to improve their personal and business relationships. The workshop is $25 per person to attend and is limited to 20 participants. Registration is available online at shaferleadership.com/movement/. For more information or questions about the workshop, call Shafer Leadership Academy at 765-748-0403.

Love Where You Live: An Evening with Peter Kageyama
6:30pm to 12:42pm @
Cornerstone Center for the Arts
520 E Main, Muncie, IN 47305
Join other Muncie creators, innovators, and connectors as we explore the critical importance of the most powerful of motivators – the human heart – in community, social, and economic development.
Peter Kageyama is an internationally sought-after community development consultant and author of For the Love of Cities: The Love Affair Between People and Their Places and Love Where You Live: Creating Emotionally Engaging Places. He speaks all over the world about bottom-up community development and the amazing people who are making change happen.
Peter explores what makes cities lovable, what motivates ordinary citizens to do extraordinary things for their places, and how some cities, such as New Orleans, Detroit, and Cleveland, are embracing concepts like “beauty,” “passion,” and “fun” in city building and revitalization.
This evening promises to reenergize our current efforts, inspire new ideas, and catalyze collaboration among the people who love – and want to love – Muncie.
Pre-registration is appreciated.
Proudly sponsored by the City of Muncie, Muncie Action Plan, Muncie-Delaware County Economic Development Alliance, Muncie Public Library, Shafer Leadership Academy, Cornerstone Center for the Arts, Building Better Neighborhoods, Woof Boom Radio (WERK, WLBC, Muncie Journal), and Ball State’s Office of Community Engagement.Jun 13, 2018

1 Million Cups
8:00am to 9:00am @
Innovation Connector
1208 W. White River Blvd
Based on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and engage with their communities over a million cups of coffee, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation developed 1 Million Cups in 2012—a free program designed to educate, engage and inspire entrepreneurs around the country. Through the power of volunteers, 1 Million Cups has grown to more than 180 communities.
As a program of the Kauffman Foundation, 1 Million Cups works with entrepreneurs, empowering them with the tools and resources to break down barriers that stand in the way of starting and growing their businesses. Mr. Kauffman believed it was a fundamental right for anyone who had a big idea to be able to bring it to life—and we're here to fulfill that mission.Aug 8, 2018
