I had a great time attending the ISLE conference yesterday.
I came out with many different ways to view the world and how to focus on
improving myself as a person and leader.
The sessions where I got the most information out of was the Keynote
session with Delatorro and his follow-up session after. Throughout both
sessions Del had many memorable quotes that hit home with me.
“To lead others you must first
lead yourself.”
“A lion doesn’t have to roar to
prove that he is a lion.”
“If two people are the same one is
not necessary.”
“All success begins in the mind.
It starts with the way you think.”
“Eagles fly alone or they fly with
other eagles.”
These five quotes say a lot about how you should become a
leader and be an effective one. My favorite on is “Eagles fly alone or they fly
with other eagles.” Meaning the leads sometimes have to stand on their own to
feet for what they believe even if it is by themselves. And that you should
surround yourself with other leaders who have a vision to successes and not with
individuals who seek blame because all they are going to do is hold you back.
Other things I gained from the conference were to define
what success means to me and create a vision board or book. I love the idea of
creating a vision board for me to see on a daily basis to help define what is
important to me, what areas I was to succeed in and what I can approve on. I
believe this to be a great project to do next semester with 2012 Hixsons and I
plan on creating one next weekend.
"If they are good, challenge them to go further" -> one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteand the true test is if you can teach it.
Quotes are awesome and I'm glad you wrote down more than I did because I couldn't write fast enough.
