Alberta Student Leadership Summit
Hey future students!
Are you a student leader in your high school or are you interested in being in a leadership position when you attend King's? I attended the Alberta Student Leadership Summit (ASLS) on January 29th, which had some great tips for students leaders or those who want to enter a leadership role!
This year's theme was "Be Extraordinary." By being leaders in our community and schools, students can go from ordinary to extraordinary through their leadership. As both a King's Ambassador and Student Leader, I found the opening key note speaker, Tony Conte, to be quite insightful in outlining "the recipe to be an extraordinary student leader." Here are some tips for you to be a great student leader!
- You have to have a lot of love.
- Value and build solid relationships with others.
- You need to have a lot of energy.
- Be authentic.
- You should facilitate a place where other people can come out to be their own authentic selves.
- Learn to take risks.
- Never forget about self care.
- Try to stretch your comfort zone.
