The Mind, the Body, and the Soul of a Leader

Last night we began learning how leaders emerge within a team. We went to the Leadership Ranch, where each house group found new ways to communicate and work together to form stronger bonds with each other. We found that people can step up and become leaders when necessary. At the Leadership Ranch, we completed physical tasks such as obstacle courses and balancing on teeter-totters. The tasks had metaphorical leadership messages that translated into the real world. For example, encouraging people to face their fears with positive reinforcement and learning to communicate and work with people you just met.

Today we continued learning about leadership. Beth organized a leadership activity for all the campers. We explored traits that we find are important for leaders to have. The traits ranged from peace and family to wisdom and humility. Everyone shared their personal goals and heroes.

Whereas yesterday we focused on the team aspect of leadership, tonight was focused on our personal leadership qualities and values.

We'll keep you updated!!
