Reflection:

Student Leadership Institute is an awesome opportunity for students in diverse fields to develop their leadership and communication skills. It was an absolute pleasure for me to have the opportunity to be an asset and contribute to the development of the students in the SLI program. I have spoken in front of the thousand of people in my past, but standing in front of the SLI students presenting scared the crap out of me. I was so nervous and felt extremely in adequate. I didn’t know why the feeling had come over me, but I did know I couldn’t quit! So, I stood in front of all 30 students and began my presentation on “ Utilizing Your Strengths in Building Your Team”. I started the presentation nervous and then I started to flow and I realize I know this information. The students asked numerous questions and were amazed at the journey that I have taking in my life. I realized that transparency is the key to a successful story and I realized that my life’s situation could possibly be a testimony to someone else. At the end of the presentation, I felt confident, adequate and an asset to one or many of the students I presented too! I really enjoyed presenting and I look forward to doing again in my career!
