Class of 2018 Session Update

KEEP A SECRET
 

While almost every (B.C.E.) Leadership Brevard class has experienced “SimSoc” via their Leadership Brevard program; it’s common alumni knowledge that the details of the session is a ‘secret’ for future program class members.  In fact, it’s held in such confidence that you may have deliberately misled current or future participants about what it actually is! 

 
From the manual – SIMSOC has been developed to make social science more vivid to adults in leadership training programs.  It focuses on what is perhaps the most central problem for a student of society: the establishment and maintenance of social organization. SIMSOC attempts to create a situation in which participants must actively question the nature of the social order and examine the processes of social conflict and social control.  As an inevitable by-product, participants finds themselves dealing with a host of issues, including interpersonal trust, leadership, “deviant” behavior, social protest and power relations.
 
The best way to summarize the session then – without divulging too much information – is to share several of the comments from the summary evaluation in answers to questions posed –

From today’s session, what was the most valuable “take away”?

  • Misunderstandings cause severe damage in society.
  • Communications, assumptions. 
  • My perception has changed…
  • Lack of communication would lead to the demise of society.
  • Importance of communication and organization; the message matters but so does the messenger; knowing what the needs are so they can adequately be met.
  • Hearing the perspectives from the different sectors of the population; everyone is trying to do the best they can with the resources they have. 
  • That communication is vital for a community to be successful.
  • True collaboration is challenging but imperative to a healthy and prosperous society.
  • Good communication takes time.

What assumptions did we challenge? What’s ‘new thinking’ for you as a result of today’s session?  

  • That we all have same opportunities.
  • Trust not only my team but trusting the groups/organizations our reputation was on built on, trust with other groups.
  • Challenged how many times we make ‘assumptions’ w/o communicating.
  • That my charity is valuable; I will reconsider from now on – Is this to make me feel better or is this really what the recipient needs/wants?
  • That you must listen to others, communication is key and everyone has their struggles.
  • Everyone does not understand your position, even when you actually have the same goals.

New in 2018; Leadership Brevard invited local subject matter experts in the social services area and working in small groups, translated the SIMSOC experience into real life in our community.
