Alumni M2

Throughout my time in the 20/20 Leadership program, I have had the opportunity to grow and develop as a leader in ways I never thought possible. I have learned a great deal about myself, my strengths and weaknesses, and how to effectively communicate and collaborate with others. These skills will undoubtedly be invaluable as I move forward in my career and personal life.

One of the most significant areas of growth for me during the program was in my communication skills. Through the various workshops and group activities, I learned how to listen actively, express myself clearly and concisely, and provide constructive feedback to my peers. I also gained a greater understanding of the importance of nonverbal communication and how it can impact the way others perceive us.

Another important aspect of leadership that I developed during the program was my ability to work collaboratively with others. I learned the value of diverse perspectives and how to leverage them to create better solutions to complex problems. I also learned how to delegate effectively and trust in the abilities of my team members to get the job done.

As I reflect on my time in the program, I am confident that the skills I have learned will serve me well in the future. Whether I am leading a team in the workplace or collaborating with others on a personal project, I know that I have the tools to be an effective leader and achieve my goals.

In terms of leaving a legacy, I believe that it is about making a positive impact on those around us and the world as a whole. It is about leaving things better than we found them and inspiring others to do the same. For me, leaving a legacy means being remembered as someone who made a difference in the lives of others and contributed to the greater good.

Moving forward, I plan to use the skills and knowledge I have gained in the program to continue to grow as a leader and make a positive impact in the world. I believe that by setting a positive example and inspiring others to do the same, we can create a ripple effect that will have a lasting impact on future generations.

In conclusion, the 20/20 Leadership program has been an incredible learning experience for me. I have grown in ways I never thought possible and developed skills that will serve me well in the future. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of such an amazing community of leaders and I look forward to continuing to grow and make a positive impact in the world.
