Session 3 of Leadership South Dakota took our class to Rapid City and just like the others, it was another great experience. This Rapid City experience was focused on Tourism, Natural Resources, and Military. Our First stop – Ellsworth Air Force Base.

A fascination of mine is the enneagram. Are you familiar? You may be thinking it is another one of those cliche “personality tests”, but to me, this one is different. I have taken countless personality tests and received results like “you are an ESFJ” or “your highest personality patterns are conscientiousness and extraversion.” Awesome, but…

As I file away notes, documents, handouts, and license plates (not real ones) I’ve decided to post a quick recap of my experience so far in the Leadership South Dakota Program.
