Florida State University College of Communication & Information alumnus Ahli Moore conducted a half-day leadership development workshop – Program IGNITE – for a select group of the College’s undergraduate and graduate students on Feb. 8.
Program IGNITE is a modular-based Student Leadership workshop that uses a combination of experiential activities, self-reflection, role-plays, assessments and mini-lectures to teach fundamental concepts of leadership and how to apply them to every day aspects of your respective teams, organizations and workplaces.
The acronym “IGNITE” stands for:
Identify your Leadership Core
Grow your Leadership Knowledge
Nourish your Leadership Strengths
Improve your Leadership Capabilities
Tailor your Leadership Message
Express your Leadership Vision
“Program IGNITE is designed to help these very unique students understand, establish and maximize their leadership potential to position them for personal, career and community success,” Moore said. “We want to help our graduates to influence the world by sending them into society as thoughtful and informed men and women dedicated to positive change. This weekend’s event will hopefully be a first step in establishing a long-term relationship between FSU and Program IGNITE.”
“Mr. Moore explained as we develop academically and professionally, our perspective of leadership develops in tandem,” doctoral student Rienne Saludo said. “Mr. Moore’s IGNITE program is an excellent opportunity to reflect on one’s development as a leader.”
Moore, who is also a member of the CCI Leadership Board, earned two degrees from Florida State – a B.S. in 1993 and M.S. in 1995 – before starting a career in management counseling.
A management consultant for almost 20 years, Moore has created and delivered dozens of corporate leadership development workshops. Recently, he converted the content to be more fitting for what university students need to expand their understanding of their own personal leadership ability and how to magnify its potential.
Over the past six years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with the nation’s most elite schools like Columbia, MIT, Harvard, Brown and Cal Berkeley — just to name a few,” Moore said. “A consistent theme across all of my work is the need to understand how to lead initiatives and organizations. The students at FSU take a backseat to no one! They have the talent and aptitude to compete with anyone in the world.”
Moore is the founder of X-Factor Solutions, LLC based in Atlanta, Ga. He will return to Florida State on April 10 to do a presentation for CCI graduate students.
