Fishery Biologist Aaron Woldt of the Alpena FRO attended Stepping Up to Leadership training at the National Conservation Training Center, October 23 to November 3 . 

The primary objectives of this training are to help attendees articulate a personal vision of leadership, integrate Service leadership competencies into their personal development and career plans, and exhibit leadership behaviors that support the Service’s mission.  

Topics covered included effective communication, giving and receiving feedback, team communications, group dynamics, power and influence, and the life of a Service leader. 

Students must complete several interim projects over the next 6 months and return to NCTC for a closeout session in March 2007.
