Leadership Lessons
My oldest son just returned from a leadership conference for youth city council leaders, and he had a blast! He loved everything about it, from the motivational speakers to the fun activities. As he recounted what he learned, I could see that one of the most important lessons that he learned about being a good leader is having a positive attitude. Last night at his lacrosse game, I was again reminded of how important it is to have a positive attitude, both in games and in life. My son's coach cheered on the team and told her players that she expected only positive comments out of all team members. With that being said, the team rallied together, cheered each other on, and played a great game.
A member of the lacrosse team playing with enthusiasm.I am fortunate to have a great mentor who has also recently reminded me about how important leadership skills are throughout life, whether in a work, academic, or family setting. Needless to say, having a positive attitude makes all the difference! It's a lesson I needed to be reminded of.
Many of you are leaders in the field, at home, and within your communities. Please share your favorite inspirational quotes with us!
Easter Festival
As an Adjunct Instructor at BYU, I have the opportunity to work with students in the Recreation Management Youth Leadership Department. These students are learning and developing skills that will empower them to be a positive influence in the lives of youth and adults in whatever career they choose to pursue. They are currently preparing for the event that they have planned and organized, the Easter Festival at the Young Living Lavender Farm, which takes place this Saturday, March 22. These students are so talented and creative! We hope you'll join us for this fun event and that after your visit to the farm you will be inspired to spend more time outdoors-- gardening, playing, or just enjoying nature.
