Leadership Lecture Series
I completed the Leadership Lecture Series, also known as the LLS. I attended three Zoom meetings where we discussed various assessments about leadership, goals as an individual, and diversity in our society. Below is the image of the certificate gained after completing the series.
During the leadership lecture series, there was three activities that I participated in. Thinking Beyond the Box, Life Wheel Assessment, and Social Change Model.
For the Thinking Beyond the Box assessment...
The greatest takeaway I gathered was that I can create career goals and work towards them realistically based on my personality type. It helped me visually see myself as a person and how to proceed with goals I have in mind. I liked that we could take a personality test and read through it to help guide us about ourselves. It gave me a better understanding on how to adjust my goals. I didn’t realized I how thorough this test it.
​
For the Life Wheel Assessment...
The greatest takeaway was that I can always improve the way my life is going. By using SMART goals I can reach a health balance in life and be satisfied. I was not surprised about the results since I believed my percentages would be around 70-80% across the board. I will hope to continue to use the life wheel to take a look at my life balance. I hope to reach 80-90% in a year or two.
​
For the Social Change Model...
The greatest takeaway I never sat down and thought about the social changes around us. I have values that I hold but never sat down to figure out what I could do about it. I would like to change the social construct of relationships between in another. My generation has seemed to loose the sense of loyalty and compassion for one another. It’s all about selfishness and not selflessness. As I reflect on the three levels of social change and the values of the model, I hope to reflect on my individual values and center myself. I struggle with motivation and haven’t sat down to figure out why. I want to continue to understand myself and grow as I gain experience through others.
​
Overall, I had a great experience in these three activities. I got to learn a lot about myself and how to improve in certain situations. I hope to be able to use these techniques in the future.
