It was a well-spent Sunday afternoon ... In 2 hours, we learned so much about how to be good leaders thanks to the mentorship of Ms. Gloria Ma. The participants were from different backgrounds: high school, incoming college and university students, university graduate and professionals.
The first part of the seminar was getting-to-know one another. Each participant had the chance to share something about herself, interests, hobbies, etc. Afterwards, to break the ice, we played a game which was quite unique: we had to arrange ourselves by order of birth dates but without using words. We had to use non-verbal gestures to communicate with one another which month of the year we were born. All were quick to resort to using the hands to indicate which month she was born, except for one, who took a while to realize what everybody was doing! Well, with everyone warmed up, Gloria started with the lecture proper.
On the white board, she spelled out the words "L-E-A-D-E-R-S-H-I-P". As she gave her lecture, she mentioned what each of the letters stood for.
L stands for "LOVE"
E stands for "ENCOURAGEMENT"
A stands for "ACTION"
D stands for "DRIVE"
E stands for "EXAMPLE"
R stands for "RELATIONSHIP"
S stands for "SUPPORTIVE"
H stands for "HUMILITY"
I stands for "INCENTIVE"
P stands for "PRIORITY"
Catch-phrases from her talk were the following:
"You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving."
"You will never find time for anything. You have to make time for it."
Well, hope you can join us in our next activities and like us, learn a lot from it.
