While her friends are at the pool this summer, Hannah Martin (center) will be spending an extended weekend in June at Neumann University at the HOBY Youth Leadership Program. The program, which was established in 1958, provides leadership seminars to 8,500 students each year from more than 5,000 high schools and boasts an impressive half million alumni from the program. During the weekend, students learn through workshops or classes how to develop an awareness of their leadership strengths and an understanding of their leadership values. According to the organization, one weekend at a HOBY seminar unlocks a students’ leadership potential and helps them gain the confidence to make a positive impact on the world around them. Hannah said that she was initially really scared to apply because she is really shy, but she’s excited to soon take part in the opportunity to build her confidence. “To be honest, I was surprised that I was selected because there are a lot of people in my grade that are much more outgoing or smarter than me. I think this will be a great opportunity to get out of my shell a little bit." Students are invited to take part by writing an essay on why they'd like to participate and are then selected as sophomores to take part in the summer program soon after school ends. Following her attendance at the seminar, Hannah will speak about her experience to the Exeter Women’s Club, who funds Exeter students' attendance at the seminar. During the past two years, Lydia Smith (left) and Leah Schmid (right) both attended the seminar and found it to be a life-changing experience. “It was really interesting because I learned a lot about how to be a good leader and how you can be in leadership positions without really having a title by impacting the people around you. It was a very unique experience,” said Lydia. Leah, who just graduated, said that when she returned from the seminar two summers ago, she immediately put the leadership skills she learned during the seminar into action by taking on leadership roles at clubs she was a part of at BCTC. “The seminar honestly brought me a lot of opportunities. I’m glad that I took the chance to apply.” Congratulations to Hannah and all of our HOBY attendees, and a massive thank you to the Exeter Women's Club for funding such an exceptional experience for our students! #goeagles 🦅💙

Exceptional leadership I believe can make a difference to pupil outcomes; with the right strategy and emotional leadership, it can inspire our next generation. I found it interesting that UNESCO are looking to survey across the world to see global variations on education leadership. I look forward to seeing their results and what can our education system take from this. #leadership #education #educationalleadership #unesco #pupils https://lnkd.in/encQdBVw.

True leadership is barely theoretical and/or coagulation of rule of thumbs. True leadership is finding the responsibility that pays more and satisfy the collective interest and be ready, prepared and willing to pay the 'ultimate sacrifice regardless of what is satisfactorily personally convenient. Whatever mix of leadership style you practice, there is a price. Identifying 'what is collective interest' alone can time an entire tenure of service. Paying the 'price' can take forever to conclude. Preparation and readiness can be discouraging. In all, leadership is finding the fold that is ready to uphold what the person in 'front ' deemed as convenient for all when all is said and done. Leadership First The #inventproject is a registered not for profit that combines a mix of pragmatic strategies for optimal learning outcomes, career guide and leadership training for students. Since 2012, o er 10,000students have been trained in #Nigeria across selected schools both at the annual leadership summit and at the mentorship phase of the project
