AJFF Web Marketing Coordinator Renee Saddler recently joined the ranks of CBC’ers who are Leadership Triangle alumni. Saddler graduated from the Personal Leadership Program and became a Goodmon Fellow on Thursday, November 30, 2006. The noon luncheon & ceremony took place at American Tobacco’s Bay 7 in downtown Durham.
Saddler joined 18 other participants in the 7-class program throughout the fall. The graduation event celebrated their progress during the course. The newest Goodmon Fellows and their guests were treated to a Southern cuisine at the luncheon.
“Leadership Triangle was a great experience from the guest speakers to the group sessions to the individual coaching sessions,” said Saddler. “I found that the most valuable part of the experience was the smaller group coaching. The group sessions encouraged me step outside of my comfort zone and realize all the potential that I have inside. Sometimes we don’t think of ourselves as leaders but every aspect of our life can be an opportunity for leadership.”
The fall cycle of Leadership Triangle concentrates on personal leadership growth. Participants work with coaches in small groups throughout the course. At each class the participants hear key leaders in the Triangle speak about aspects of leadership. They also learn about things such as challenging the process and encouraging the heart. And all learn to see the Triangle as a region.
“I look forward to taking what I learned and becoming the leader that I know is inside.”

CBC President & CEO Jim Goodmon spoke at the luncheon, emphasizing Leadership Triangle’s mission and his personal theme, regionalism. He said that it is our individual responsibility to pay attention and work to strengthen our community; there is nothing the Triangle cannot accomplish when working together.
CBC is a major sponsor of Leadership Triangle. Goodmon is chair of the Board of Directors and is joined on that board by CBC employees WCMC-FM’s Karen Cates, FOX 50’s Chris Downey.
