My advice to students...

The world needs more great leaders! The good news is that there is no shortage of opportunities to practice your own leadership skills and commit to never being ‘done’ when it comes to leadership development. Consistent and continuous learning, developing a strong sense of self awareness, and improving in one’s ability to learn from feedback has fueled the growth of my leadership capacity. So has knowing when to not take myself too seriously: Sometimes its about just being able to dust yourself off one more time and get back in the game. Kudos to you for investing in this life-long journey; great leadership has positive impact in our communities and world, and, my experience, leads to greater personal fulfillment as well.
