Use Your Strengths to Enhance Your Leadership Seminar – Thursday, June 29th, 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Everyone is welcome!!
Kate Ostrem from 9 Open Doors will be presenting on insight into Enneagram:
We often hear the message “use your strengths.” But is it possible to take our strengths too far? Kate Ostrem, of 9 Open Doors, will explain the connection between strengths and weaknesses and walk us through a thought-provoking exercise that will have us looking at our strengths in a new light. She will also briefly introduce us to the nine different styles of the Enneagram, a personality system that illuminates what happens when we overuse our strengths. Join us for this eye-opening workshop with your friends from the Augsburg MBA program!
Presenter:
Kate Ostrem is certified as an Enneagram educator by Anne Murée with Olive Branchways, and has studied with some of the most prominent thought leaders in the Enneagram community. She attended St. Olaf College and has worked in fundraising, communications and marketing in the non-profit world for sixteen years. Her 9 Open Doors work has varied from a small group of friends in a backyard to retreats to a conference in New Zealand. Described as a sincere, gifted teacher who presents in an accessible and fun way, Kate looks forward to the day when everyone knows about the Enneagram so that we all have meaningful insight into our habits and behaviors.

“It Will Renew Your Faith In Theater,” writes Twin Cities blogger Matthew A. Everett after seeing Full Circle’s production of Suzan-Lori Parks’ 365 DAYS/PLAYS: A 2017 Remix at Penumbra Theater last weekend. (http://swfringegeek.blogspot.com/2017/05/review-365-days365-plays-2017-remix.html)
Three Augsburg theater alums (Stephanie Lein Walseth ’00, Quinci Bachman ’15, and Malick Ceesay ’17) and Augsburg Theater Professor Emerita Martha Johnson are all part of the Full Circle production running this and next weekend, Thursday – Sunday, through June 11. City Pages reviewer Jay Gabler writes, “‘365 Days/365 Plays’ quickly gets to the point on topics like race and power” and praises recent Augsburg grads: “. . .with 46 different scenarios to enact in rapid-fire succession, stage managers Quinci Bachman and Malick Ceesay might be the unseen VIPs of this production.”
Martha Johnson directed an earlier version of this production with a student cast at Augsburg in February 2012. Full Circle’s new version features 5 directors (Stephanie Lein Walseth, Harry Waters Jr., Rick Shiomi, Lara Trujillo, Martha Johnson) and a cast of 10 professional actors. Noted actor James A. Williams was featured opening weekend. Well-known African dancer Patricia Brown choreographs. Quinci Bachman serves as co-sound designer and stage manager. Malick Ceesay serves as props designer and assistant stage manager.
