As a graduate student in some area of environmental science, much of your graduate education will focus on developing expertise in your particular area of interest, as well as developing enough knowledge to bridge to other related areas of environmental science. But your ability to be effective and make major contributions over the course of your career will also depend greatly on your personal vision of where you are headed and the leadership and communication skills needed to get there. These skills are as important as any technical expertise you may be acquiring but few classes specifically focus on developing them. In this course, we will discuss concepts presented in \"The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People\", skills associated with effective professional communication using \"Escape from the Ivory Tower\", and examples of environmental scientists that seem to be very effective.
