FBLA: A Leadership Analysis

I have many experiences with leadership experiences due to my participation in FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America). In FBLA I had to take a leadership role in a group project that we compete with. While I was the leader I influence others to get the project done and work together as a team. I made sure that we were all on track and that our assign tasks were being completed. When there was an issue I would try to help them and figure out what was happening. I would bring peace when there was arguments.

The FBLA-PBL National Fall Leadership Conference was held from November 20th to 21st, at the Hilton in Baltimore, Maryland. The nearly 100 New Jersey FBLA and PBL officers, members, and advisers were accompanied by FBLA-PBL State Chairman Ms. Nancy Ostrowski. Wallkill Valley High School was recognized for the largest attendance the National Fall Conference with 69 Members by President Jose Espinel.

So far, I have altered how meetings are conducted from last year so that the student administration has more control of communicating ideas to the members. Later in the year, I plan to incorporate additional volunteer opportunities and I want to have more group conversations with the members to hear their ideas and try to merge those ideas into positive changes that can be made. This leadership opportunity is starkly different from that of coordinating a 5k. Being the president of NHS has given me additional exposure to public speaking skills, decision making skills, proper ways to conduct meetings, and ways to present myself professionally. Despite their differences, these leadership opportunities have helped me advance myself in my journey to accomplish my goals. The skills I gained and refined from these opportunities will undoubtedly assist me when trying to procure grants, build connections, and become a research team leader.

My roles in Healthy Campus gave me the confidence to go even further a take on leadership positions on campus. Not only was I was elected to an undergraduate student senate positon, but I was also voted in as the top senator for the College of Architecture Arts, and Humanities. I also succeeded in the classroom and achieved a spot on the Dean’s List for the first time in my academic career. Due to my leadership abilities and academic achievements, I was selected for two coveted public speaking roles. The first was at the Clemson Law Enforcement Summit, a gathering of local law enforcement officials to discuss better enforcement strategies for underage drinking and community policing. The second was at the Clemson University Student Affairs banquet, which recognizes outstanding student and administrative

Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) is an organization that was founded on the principles of “service, education, and progress.” In FBLA we participate in community service activities, seminars, and competitive events that help individuals succeed in business.

I never thought I would someday become a role model to nearly 12,000 Missouri high school students. These students are not any ordinary students; they are members of an organization that is truly the ultimate leadership experience. This organization is known as the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) and is a student led organization, based off of family and consumer sciences education. FCCLA has given me unbelievable opportunities! But of all of the opportunities this organization has provided me with, serving as a FCCLA state officer has definitely been the best. However, becoming a state officer wasn’t easy and required a long process.

I want to become a Bank of America student leader I want to be a good leader but also a true leader, which is a leader that leads by example. In able to help my community and to encourage fellow students like myself, I have to set the foundation and example for them. By participating in the Student Leaders program, I can learn to become a better person, but more importantly, a better leader. As a senior preparing for graduation, it is critical that I understand where I intend to head in life. With this program, I think that it can provide me with an even more clarity about my goals and aspirations. I believe I should be chosen to be a Bank of America Student Leader because with my diverse background and skills, I believe I can be a great addition

Throughout my high school years, I gave myself many opportunities and challenges to demonstrate my worth as a leader. Of all these positions, the one I take pride in the most would be taking the lead role of directing a non-profit ACT organization. Together with my classmate, we had founded the organization to which I took charge of after he left to attend college. During my role as president of the ACT organization, my responsibilities included tutoring, finding teachers, organizing sign ups, as well as procuring space to hold classes.

These men and women led the way to do what they have done, whether showing their leadership in the business world, the political landscape, or the high school classroom. I know that I have been a leader for my peers, just as they have been for me. When preparing for a presentation for the Delaware State Student Council, I found a quote by Tom Peters, a writer on business management principles, which really resonated with me. “Leaders don’t create followers, they create more leaders”. I have, since then, done what the quote says, and have built leaders in my peers and my friends. Leadership will continue to be a focal point of my character as a member of the Caesar Rodney National Honor Society, to better not just the people around me, but myself as

A leader must be dedicated to serving their community, which is something that FBLA has forever instilled in me. In less than two years, I have completed over 300 hours of diverse community service. I am a competitive swim coach at my local YMCA, where I have the privilege of helping young athletes achieve their goals. I enthusiastically participate in my local chapter’s community service events, such as the law enforcement appreciation dinner, Community Service Day, and Wildcat Christmas.

One of my greatest strengths from the AAA Leaders' Competency is influence. In my career at CSAA I have done a good job of establishing credibility and have excelled in adapting and adjusting based on the feedback I am given. I have quickly moved forward within the company, and have a positive influence on the people whom I work with and new hires. I have had the opportunity to work with auto and homeowners claims and am currently working in the Physical Damage Department. Since my first day with CSAA, I learned quickly that there would always be changes to make and new challenges to overcome.

I am lucky enough to say that I have had a variety of leadership opportunities and experiences in my life that have led me to be the person I am today. Many of these experiences came from involvement in wrestling, Boy Scouts of America, volunteer projects, friendships, and different employment opportunities. I sometimes underestimate the degree of impact these experiences have had on my life. Although most of these have been positive experiences, some of them have definitely been quite challenging. But all have played their part in molding and shaping my personality and values.

My most fulfilling leadership experience is my work with the local middle school in instituting FFA recruitment presentations in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classrooms. When I was in middle school, I had no intention of joining the FFA. Today, I am chapter president. My own experience illustrates that any new member can profoundly impact our FFA chapter. This recruitment event gives me hope that I can influence students who do not believe their place is in the FFA and inspire them by proving I am a walking example of the contrary. Consequently, this is my most fulfilling leadership experience because it allows me to provide to students the same opportunity that I was blessed with four years ago.

I awoke from my phone's sharp tri-tone ring while lying in bed. A consistent earth shattering and echoing ring would not silence itself until I pressed snooze. I started to clear my vision while switching off the phone's ring. The daze from the early morning quickly faded once I grasped the fact the day of the Future Business Leaders of America's National Fall Leadership Conference had arrived. The excitement came crashing down into my body, and I jumped into action. Viewing from the corner of my eye, my peers were still in eternal rest exhausted from our travels to the Charm City of Baltimore. That morning I prepared myself for new ideas and perspectives that would befall me at the FBLA National Leadership Conference, which I had the privilege to attend.

A leader is an everyday learner and achiever. I hope to enrich my comprehensive professional development by interacting with amazing American organizations that will enable to get deep knowledge of the comprehensive professional development; to reinforce my capacity of youth development and transformation by being in touch and learning through dealer in hope; to develop skills in managing volunteer, mentees, mentors, negotiating and coordinating project by learning how successful managers, leaders and organizations are always on the move; to enhance my educational experience in transformative leadership, enhance my skills in fund raising and how to design successfully a challenge; to hope to gain how to become a good planner and strategist.
