Hoby Seminar

Leading the youth Leadership is a process of influencing activities of a particular group of people with the aim of attaining certain stipulated goals. In defining leadership the movie Lean On Me, directed by John G. Avildsen, does an exemplary job with the principal Mr. Clark. The protagonist of the movie, “Mr.Clark” was played by Morgan Freeman; moreover, he was the principal of East Side high school. Although some leaders have bizarre methods of leading, Although Mr.Clark had bizarre methods of leadership, He would always get the job done.

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.

I am writing you today because I would love to go to the HOBY leadership conference. Hopefully in this paper I can inform you on why I want to go, what I hope to learn, and how I will use the skills that I am taught. My first point of interest is why I want to go. I would like to go because I believe that I have potential to be a great leader in the school and community. With the help of this conference I can start to fully develop my potential.

It is evident that Schulich Leaders are individuals who possess the ability to leave an impressionable impact on their school and beyond. Throughout my educational pathway, I have consistently dedicated my time and effort for the greater good of my fellow students, staff, and community members. I have always been naturally inclined to lead individuals, as it gives me the opportunity to express and develop my capabilities as an exemplary role model. Particularly, I demonstrate these characteristics through a variety of extracurricular activities and clubs, where my tendency to propose, carry out, and offer insight on the issues at hand never goes unnoticed. Due to the fact that I am a diligent and thoughtful individual who never rests until my endeavours materialize lends to the notion that I will undoubtedly make an outstanding Schulich Leader.

However, without proper management, leadership and global vision, this ideal can never be achieved. Business is the one field that invokes and teaches leadership as a lifestyle and brings all fields together to promote one goal. Without leaders to provide purpose, direction and collaboration, not even the smartest team can complete simple tasks. Ross nurtures leaders to help the world create solutions to complex problems such as global sustainability. The Sanger Leadership Center will help develop my core values and give skills to affect the world through unique challenges such as the Crisis Challenge. Surrounded by other students with similar goals but diverse mindsets and backgrounds through the LeaderX program allows for the development of a leadership style that does not merely work in all settings, but excels at stimulating the minds of everyone. I do not want to be the passive bystander while the world and my family face the sustainability crisis. I need to be raised into a global leader with strong values and purpose that can change the face of environmental issues and social impact. No longer will be the boy powerless to climate change. No longer will be the student helpless to others’ poverty. No longer will be the follower incapable of fostering

During the summer of 2014, I participated in Bucksmore’s Young Leader Program in Cambridge. There, I took classes about Marketing and International Laws, while I was exposed to new experiences such as group debates in public. I definitely enjoyed the experience, I was encouraged by a very strong report card and I started building my conviction.

As one of the sixteen members of the inaugural class of Terry Scholars at UT Arlington, I have proven my ability to lead. My passion for leadership has given me the initiative to get involved with as many organizations as possible, and network within those groups. Freshman Leaders on Campus is the perfect medium through which I can refine my skills and collaborate with other leaders all across campus.

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

Throughout my time as a young adult I have had countless amounts of people tell me that they see me as a leader. They told me that I have the traits and the skills of someone who can have success in leadership positions. Truthfully, I never really understood what they meant. I knew that I was a good public speaker, but I never really understood what else I had. In high school I was always put in leadership positions whether it was an officer of the National Honor Society or captain of my sport teams, but I never really understood what drove me to attain those positions. I continued my quest for leadership positions in high school with every student organization I joined. Whether it was Pi Kappa Phi fraternity or Dance Marathon I felt the need to prove to others that I can more than just a member, but a leader. It wasn’t until I took this class that I truly understood what made me a leader. Because of this class I was able to better understand what are my leadership traits, my leadership styles, and how I use those in order to attain and succeed in leadership positions. Throughout this paper I will explain how Career Leadership Academy allowed me to realize what made me a leader and analyze the ways to improve at my future leadership positions.

Before now, I never really thought about being a leader. I always believed a leader was someone at the top, making decisions like a general in the army. The summit gave me a lot different perspectives on what a leader actually is. One thing that was said that really stuck with me was, “your college degree isn’t just for you. It is also for all those who come after you.” It was then that I really understood what a leader is. A leader is one who works their hardest to become the best person they can be, so they can set an example for others and help those who come after them.

I occupy my time in clubs and activities that both captivate my interest and are most important for my peers and me. These include but are not limited to my positions in Link Crew, Student Council, and Senior Board. They range from Senior Class Representative to Vice President. Many of my teachers and mentors have identified a characteristic of mine as a great leader, and I wanted to improve on these skills. I don't dominate discussion or action, I simply guide it. I take all of my positions seriously and always bring my best attitude; my leadership methods distinguish me from other

A leader takes diligent time in considering the ability to adhere to other people’s interests and presents their followers with a positive mindset. This summer, I accepted an invitation to participate in the Dale Carnegie Young Adult Leadership Program. Attendees of this program learned several skills that can be applied to future experiences, especially on how to become an effective leader. Everyday, the attendees acted as leaders by accomplishing various tasks that forced them to reach out of their comfort zones. We acted as leaders by leading group

The leadership and mentoring program at SCFS provide various recreational and educational activities that target diverse racialized (Somali, Syrian, Nepalese, Iraqi) youth who live in the high-risk neighborhoods across the city. All of our programs encourage leadership within our youth and we do this by strong mentorship and coaching. The youth are an integral part of our community and we believe that mentorship and coaching are essential for developing our youth leaders. We help with the development of our youth by supporting them in the navigation of the education system in particular post secondary. We also connect our youth to mentors within certain career fields they are interested in so that they can start to build their own career paths.

Being a CLP Fellow would allow me the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals that desire to enhance their leadership experience throughout their four years at TCU as well as provide me a greater chance to enhance myself in leadership roles in a program known to be beneficial to its members. Having already attended multiple leadership events on campus such as the Vice Chancellor’s First-Year Dinner and the First-Year Men’s Leadership Dinner, as well as being encouraged by its attendees to apply for this fellowship, I understand the type of beneficial influence such a program would have on me. It is my hope that during my time on campus, I will be able to foster in myself and in others an initiative to lead and bring forth yet another generation of innovators that can improve society. The individual programs included during the fellowship program excite me in a way that tells me that there is much to be learned and experienced through them. I hope to be a leader that can represent TCU and its ideals of fostering ethical leaders immersed in the global community.

As a leader, he knows when it’s necessary to take initiative in a situation and recognizes hard work whenever he sees it. While facilitating a workshop together for this year’s Region Training Conference, I was impressed by his capability of tackling the responsibilities being thrown at him. Whenever a task needed to be done, he completed it as soon as possible and strived to not procrastinate. Most importantly, he leads by example: he sacrifices his personal time to attend events whenever additional help is needed and encourages members to be more involved with the club. By doing so,
