Being a student at the University of Pittsburgh, which is a non-target school when it comes to recruiting for investment banking, I rarely have the chance to interact with recruiters from large investment banks. I want to attend the leadership conference in the hope of networking and possibly obtaining a summer internship with Wells Fargo so that I can gain valuable career experience. I am also determined to show others at my school that obtaining such prestigious internships is possible, even while attending a non-target. If given the chance to attend the leadership conference, I promise I will make the very most of it. I will network diligently, making sure to explore all professional options that Wells Fargo has to offer. Up to this point in my college career, I have exceled and continued to put myself out of my comfort zone. I have challenged my self academically, and socially, joining as many organizations as possible. I obtained an internship with a large bank, BNY Mellon, after my freshman year, and am determined to continue to challenge myself. I know that Wells Fargo can give me the next opportunity to make a huge step in my professional career while I can offer all of my hard work, talent, and experience to Wells Fargo in

There are many ways to define leadership, but perhaps the most laconic as well as accurate definition is presented in Peter G. Northouse's Leadership: Theory and Practice book (Northouse, 2013, p.5): "Leadership is a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal". Individuals, engaged in leadership, use influence to solve challenges, which the groups under their leadership face, in order to succeed in their common goals.

I, Jonathan Hollander would like to join the Ladders for Leaders program so I can get experience for my future career. I hopefully can learn new techniques to old tricks, how to handle certain situations and more. I hope to get a summer job/internship out of Ladders for Leaders for two reasons the first being: I’m on a set schedule in the summer, I’m not wasting my time over-sleeping and doing nothing. The second being: a future career or experience for my job. I think I can contribute to ladders for leaders by being a role model for future applicants proving to them you can do something with your summer vacation and more importantly life. I once heard a quote that had a major affect on me “one life can make a difference in the lives of many”.

I was part of the Freshmen 15 Leadership Program last year. It built on procured abilities such as scheduling, team building, communication and reaching resolutions in an 8-week seminar.

You will learn leadership skills, and at the same time you will learn of many opportunities available for students like you.

One reason I would like to be on this team is because it is another opportunity for me to practice my leadership skills that I will be able to perfect and take to college with me and even beyond college. I would also like to be considered for this position as I enjoy collaborating and planning different events with others as is seen with events such as school dances. If I was chosen for this position, such activities would include the different retreats that are planned throughout the year. Another reason I would like to be considered for this leadership position is because I have been recognized numerous times for my leadership skills and good character. Since being at Columbus, I have won sailor of the month three times and been inducted into National Honor Society. As well as during my eighth grade year at Blessed Maria, I was selected to serve on the Student Lighthouse Leadership Team, which is somewhat similar to the Senior Leadership Team. On this team, we planned and organized many events such as Catholic Schools Weeks events and Leader in Me open houses just as the Senior Leadership teams plans different activities and events. I would also like to be considered for this position as the Student Lighthouse Team shows I already have experience being on a group that is similar to the Senior Leadership

Leadership is a very difficult yet gratifying role to play in Garden City high school. Throughout the school day I feel I put in a surplus of effort in everything I do from homework to being kind, but a lot of the time I feel I am not noticed and that is what I think is the biggest challenge of being a leader; not being noticed but still going on in what you do, also whenever things go wrong the leader is the first to be blamed. So if your wanting to be a leader you're gonna have to be tough and confident.

“Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change” - Jim Rohn. Over these past few months, I’ve been contemplating whether or not I should attempt to apply to Ladders for Leaders. Once I came to the realization that my college years will begin in the next year, everything started to hit me. What have I done apart from school work? In the eyes of the person reading my college application, I would say.. not much. Getting accepted into this program, will definitely provide me with the preparation I need before entering college.I still have to learn how to overcome being introverted, and improve speaking in large groups. From joining the Ladders for Leaders Program I hope to gain confidence, leadership skills, and a better mentality. This isn’t just about me getting the chance to add one more activity to my college applications, no this is also a chance to give back to the people around me. What I hope to contribute to this program is support, trust, and dedication. It’s time for me to make a change, a change to a better and brighter future. My first step towards that goal is taking this opportunity to be apart of the Ladders for Leaders.

During my time in high school, I’ve had an abundance of opportunities to embellish my leadership skills. A week or two before the first day of senior year, I served as a senior leader at Piedmont High School’s annual Freshmen Camp. The purpose of this camp is to familiarize the upcoming freshmen with the school, and also to welcome them to the family. As a senior leader, I gave my group of freshmen a tour of the school, played a variety of games so we could get comfortable with each other, and shared personal experience from my time in high school.

In Good to Great, author Jim Collins believes he and his team have found a set of timeless principles for running an organization successfully. He states these principles “will remain true and relevant no matter how the world changes” (2001, p.15). From what I have read, I feel he is correct in his belief. I have already seen and experienced many of the principles he provides. One of these principles I have seen firsthand is the concept of “Level 5 Leadership.” The main mission of the Air National Guard unit, where I am employed, is in air refueling. However, every so often we are tasked with a cargo deployment. This additional function requires many people to step outside of their normal scope of business and job description. I have worked

I was first drawn by the name “NYC Ladders for Leaders” as I strongly believe that leaders aren’t born, but are fruits of creativity, persistence, and most importantly, passion. Because achieving these qualifying aspects of a leader require not only motivation but also the strength to overcome the flaws of the human nature, including laziness and selfishness, a mere minority of the population can succeed as leaders, as pioneers of the future, as heroes of the community. Since leadership crafted, the phrase “ladder” is especially intriguing, as this program will serve as a helping hand for youths who aim to become guiders of society. Because my parents abandoned their comfortable lives and immigrated to the U.S. solely to provide me with an

I would like to join Step-Up Chattanooga because I feel like it would be a good opportunity for me to encounter new people, assimilate new things, work on my verbal and nonverbal communication skills with exertion.

I feel that this program will help me increase my teamwork skills as I grow as a young woman as well as critical thinking also. I want this program to help me bring out my most ultimate, supreme potential out. So I can be able to spread it with the rest of the world how great a young,african american woman from poverty can truly rise from nothing.
