A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way. John C. Maxwell
Quotes from Lehigh University LeaderShape® Participants
“Leadershape® introduced me to inspiring student leaders from around the country who are making meaningful changes on their own campuses and in their communities. We still keep in touch and support one another as we take steps toward achieving our goals.”
-Gina Mason, B.A. 2012, M.Ed. 2013
“Leadershape® has been immensely impactful in my current life and in discovering my dreams. Leadershape® allowed me to take my interest and goals and harness them into my vision, which is something I strive to work on and achieve every day! Without Leadershape® I would have never been able to develop myself as a leader and discover my true ambitions in life.”
-Nigel Muhammed, 2014
“Leadershape® was a very powerful experience for me. It gave me the tools necessary to think from many different perspectives that I have never even imagined. I developed a new scope of the world, for what it really is, rather than how I see it through my own eyes. The people, energy, and love at Leadershape® sparked an entrepreneurial spirit to instill the change I want to see within my local community. I learned that we as one are great, but together, we can change the world. The best lesson that resonated with me the most – in order to be a leader, you need to have a healthy disregard for the impossible. Because of Leadershape®, I now have the confidence to happily and healthily disregard the impossible.”
-Ralph Jean-Noel, 2015
“Leadershape® was so impactful to me because it taught me so much about myself and the type of leader that I was. Being involved in Leadershape® I was able to meet new people, come out of my comfort zone and learn about different leadership styles and effectiveness, which are the key things I learned and carry with me every day. The Leadershape® experience broadened my view and definitely made me more aware of myself and the work that I am surrounded by. This is an experience that anyone would be grateful to be a part of because of the impact it leaves on you and the influence that it carries. For that one week, you can truly be comfortable with yourself and not worry about anyone judging you, or not accepting you for who you are. In this one week, you are surrounded by remarkable leaders from all over the country making connections that you never would have just had by casually walking up to someone. This type of initiative should, without a doubt, be brought to Lehigh because the power the program holds can make anyone want to be the best person that they can be.”
-MyTresa Taylor, 2015
