1. Introductions (9:00-9:15)

GOALS

• To introduce each other and the workshop,
• To break the ice

Name Game (5minutes)

• Welcome people. Say that we introduced each other yesterday - today we are going to do a quick exercise to see how many names we remember.
• Each table has 30 seconds to look at the people sitting at the table on their RIGHT (make sure each table knows which table they will be introducing). In the 30 seconds, the table prepares to introduce each member at the assigned table (name, where they're from).
• As each person is introduced, they are asked to stand up. Applause after each table introduces their partner table.

Participant expectations and the workshop plan (10minutes)

• Do a round and ask each person to say briefly why they chose this workshop.
• Review the goals and agenda for the workshop. You can either put these up on flip chart or review The workshop at a glance (PI). Note any expectations from participants that will NOT be met - and where others might be met in the program. Say that yesterday we looked at how important the union is for women. In this workshop we will explore ways to strengthen and promote women's leadership in a way that builds the union.
• Remind people of the group contract from yesterday posted on the wall.

2. What's a good leader? (9:15-9:35)

GOAL

• Identify what makes a good leader

The story of Viola Desmond (5minutes)

• Explain that this is a story based on a true event in Canadian history. From this story we learn about taking leadership in the fight for justice.
• Review the goals and agenda for the workshop. You can either put these up on flip chart or review The workshop at a glance (PI). Note any expectations from participants that will NOT be met - and where others might be met in the program. Say that yesterday we looked at how important the union is for women. In this workshop we will explore ways to strengthen and promote women's leadership in a way that builds the union.
• Ask people to do the actions called for in the story as you read it. They can stay seated in their chairs. Warn people that they will have to listen carefully.
• Read the Viola Desmond story (P2) aloud. Participants do the actions as you read .
• Ask for a show of hands for how many people had heard of Viola before. Say that we often don't hear about our women leaders. And many people do not know about many of our struggles, in this case against racism in Canada. Racial segregation is more often recognized as something that happened in the U.S. Most will know of Rosa Parks who took similar heroic action 9 years later.
• Ask: What were the leadership qualities you admire in Viola? (people might mention courage, commitment, willing to stand up for what she believed in... ) Write these on stickies and post them on the large woman figure that you have posted on the wall.
