Why I support LeaderShape through the Pebble Club:
I believe in supporting organizations that align with my core values and make a positive change in society. At one point in my life, I was able to dedicate time to LeaderShape, and hope to again in the future. Currently not having the schedule flexibility to be directly involved with LeaderShape sessions, I embrace the opportunity to stay connected via monetary support as a member of the Pebble Club. I am proud to know that I am part of the support group that contributes to the advancement of this wonderful organization.
One piece of advice I would share with someone participating in a LeaderShape program is:
Embrace the opportunity. Fully embrace it. Diving in head first to this experience will be a decision you never regret when reflecting on how positively such a short amount of time could be so impactful on your life.
I live the lessons and mission of LeaderShape in my own life by/through:
Currently, I am the Director of the Michigan Creativity Association - an organization charged with creating the next generation of innovative thinkers and leaders. I have the opportunity to live the lessons of LeaderShape by creating opportunities for K-12 students to live, lead, and learn with integrity in a creative exploration context. Embracing a healthy disregard for the impossible, I have taken on the monumental task of providing international learning experiences for students, which have included trips to Beijing, China and Wrocław, Poland for global celebrations of student creativity.
