The leadership conference was one of the
very rewarding experiences I had throughout my leadership learning journey.
What I found really inspiring was the young lady, one of the keynote speakers,
who dedicated her life just to organize a social movement to cut poverty cycle,
not only in Australia but for the entire globe. I believe cutting such a cycle
is just climbing a really high and slippery cliff which threatens the climber’
life, yet she is now in the middle of her journey at the top the cliff.
Listening to her sharing experiences leads
me to a conclusion that leadership exist in every one. We do not have to be
powerful people to make a change. All we need to do is to raise a sense of
care, love and empathy to what happens in our surrounding. Once this feeling
becomes stronger and stronger, power will come to us. We will have the courage
and confidence to talk to others about the unfortunate reality facing our
society. We will, definitely, have braveness to dream of a change. With this
great feeling, aura of leadership will start burning like fire in the cold.
Then, everybody will notice our existence. In the long run, more power will be
in surrounding.
Personally speaking, the conference
provided, indeed, an invaluable lesson for me and for the rest of the
participants. Each speaker honestly expressed their deep feeling and thoughts
about what it meant to make a change. Their inspiring stories have successfully
triggered everyone in the conference room to wake up and start to change, no
matter how big they can contribute to make a change. Very unfortunately,
however, only a few people could experience such an incredible moment of
learning. There should be more participants in that place because the
conference was such a great source of energy to recharge everyone’s leadership
battery. Not only deepening their understanding, but conference would build
their leadership capacity. I do hope that there would be more similar
conferences with more people attending them.
