Over Spring Semester 2015, I participated in the Emerging Ethnics Leaders Institute and ROAR Tour Guide training. I decided to use my involvement in these two programs as an honors experience to explore my leadership style. When I enter the workforce after graduating college, it is expected that I come with a certain set of skills. More and more often, companies are looking to employ the skill set of leaders. Therefore, while in college it is important that I develop my leadership "brand", or the style in which I lead.
I wanted to better understand my strengths and weakness so that I could work more effectively with my currents peers at UC as well as my future peers when I enter the workforce. From this experience, I've realized that I can use leadership skills in every activity I do whether I am the designated leader or a fellow teammate. Being a leader means listening to others' opinions and being open to doing things a different way. It means being a team player and working hard to complete assigned tasks or communicating if that's not possible. And because of this, spring semester proved to be the semester of leadership. I was asked to speak at different venues, and won a leadership recognition award from my scholarship program. Below you’ll find further documentation from my various leadership experiences.
