Leadership

As one of my projects for the UBBT, I have been running a leadership seminar this past month. This week is the final evening.
Every week, a different speaker has been giving a lecture on a different aspect of leadership. The first week Sifu Brinker spoke about public speaking. The second week was myself, with a presentation on how to find reliable information and the importance of being knowledgeable. Then, Sifu Playter discussed organization and discipline and how to successfully acheive a goal. Lastly, sifu Frietag spoke about how to effectivly teach.
Throughout this whole four week journey, the participants have had an assignment. They are required to make a presentation to the group about a project they have done or something they believe in. These presentations are due this Thursday. After the seminar, they are required within the next three months to successfully teach one technique in a class and publically promote their cause.

The goal of this entire endeaver has been to give students the tools needed to promote a cause. You can believe in something all you want, but if you don't know how to successfully promote it, you'll be believing it all by yourself.

I don't know how successful this seminar has been but I hope the participants have found it helpful and worthwhile. I myself have learned quite a lot from the presentations and I'm really excited to see what the students produce. My hope is that they carry this forward and pursue what they think is important. Now is the best time to start.

Thanks to everyone who has helped make this happen...it's been a lot of fun!
