The Wayne Business and Industry Center at Wayne Community College will offer a set of seminars over the next few weeks that can lead to a leadership certificate for participants.

The free Leadership Series includes a seminar every Tuesday afternoon for five weeks that will provide the knowledge and tools necessary to manage time and people to achieve company and personal goals, WCC officials said.

The seminars are geared toward small business owners and entrepreneurs and are open to the public.

The sessions and their presenters are:

Sept. 30, "Dream, Dare, Believe and Do" by John Formica

Oct. 7, "Cross-Generational Leadership" by Cathy Graham

Oct. 14, "Started from the Bottom, But Now We Are Here" by Kenston Griffin

Oct. 21, "Understanding and Working with Different Ages and Generations" by Emily Balance

Oct. 28, "Leading Across the Generations" by Olalah Njenga.

All of the sessions will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. in Room 101 of the Walnut Building on Wayne Community College's main campus in Goldsboro except the last one, which will be in Room 104.

To earn a certificate, "graduates" of the program must attend four of the five seminars.
