UPCOMING SESSIONS!
Make Your M-Arc By Marketing Your Club
Format: In-person, on campus
When: 12PM - 1PM TUE 08/03
Not much else is as important as making people interested in what you're doing and convincing them to join!

Event Planning and Organisation
Format: In-person, on campus
When: 1PM - 2PM TUE 08/03
There's a steep learning curve when it comes to making an event happen from start to finish. We all approximately know what we 'sort of' should be doing, but when it comes down to keeping track of everything that needs to happen you can become overwhelmed very easily. This workshop will be hosted by Georgia, our Events coordinator on the Clubs Team who will be providing insight and guidance on all the things you need to do to make sure your event runs perfectly.
Public Speaking and Presentation Skills
Format: In-person, on campus
When: 1PM - 2PM WED 09/03
One of the most prominent leadership traits of all, being able to address a crowd with confidence and charisma is an easy way to demonstrate your capabilities as a leader. When you're in the spotlight, even the smallest things can often have a big impact on how you are perceived. Our host for this workshop, Mitch, knows all about talking in front of large crowds - you might even remember Mitch talking about Arc at your First Year Welcome! This workshop will help you learn all about the nuances to public speaking and make sure everyone pays attention when you have something to say.
Team Management and Effective Leadership
Format: In-person, on campus
When: 12PM - 1PM THU 10/03
As student leaders, you will need to take a very unique approach towards leadership and managing a team that also consists of your peers. This workshop will focus on understanding what it really means to be an effective leader and translating this into skills relevant to managing your team. Hosted by Stephen who is experienced in team management in all its various forms across student organisations, ensure you are doing the right thing for those that depend upon you by joining this workshop!
Avoiding Burnout
Format: In-person, on campus
When: 1PM - 2PM THU 10/03
Being a strong leader is a very high intensity state of existence. You motivate those around you and are constantly making things happen, when they should, where and how. On top of all this, being a student means you're also juggling your studies and all those other personal responsibilities. At the end of the day you're only human and this energy needs to come from somewhere, which means you need to know how to recharge properly too. This workshop will focus on learning the self awareness to realise when you're starting to experience burnout, practicing the discipline to address it properly and properly understanding that one of your biggest responsibilities is to yourself.
