What does Leadership mean to you:
Leadership means taking that step forward, taking that responsibility and initiative that people can learn and respect. Being a leader means being able to guide yet also have the ability to learn. Leadership is not an innate trait but rather a quality that is cultivated and developed over time.
Ice-Breaker: What is a movie quote that you live by?
“You have such a capacity for goodness. You always excelled, but not because you craved success but because of your fear of failure”. This quote is powerful to me because growing up I didn’t think I possessed any traits of competence no matter what I did, which enabled me to constantly aim for improved outcomes. My pursuit of improvement did not stem from a potential room for improvement, but rather from a personal perception of falling short, which was detrimental to my self esteem and approach to fulfilling my obligations.
The Leadershops series consists of 1 hour workshops that focus on various student centered leadership-related topics facilitated by Campus Life staff and Leadership Peer Facilitators. This program aims to contribute to the leadership development and ongoing learning of UMBC undergraduate students.
