Personal Development Plan

What is leadership to me??

Any act that gets people united and guides them as a group to follow similar
goals and interests.
How does leadership effect my life?
Im surrounded by leadership every single day, as we all are. My
professors, my coaches, my friends, my team mates, my classmates, my
mom and pretty much everyone else has the opportunity to be a leader. Just
because all of these people can be leaders, it doesnt mean they are. I
know people who are leaders but not always for positive outcomes. I know
people who try to lead others and get no response. I also know leaders who
strive to help community and have the right tactics to lead a team. This all
effects my life because I use different situations to evaluate how I am leading
people. Am I too pushy? Am I using the right leadership style for the types of
people in my group? What am I doing right? What am I doing wrong? How
can I improve the responsiveness from the people I am leading?
Personal Experience
I have lead both groups and teams. Surprisingly, I found it easier to get
groups more focused on the task ahead than a team. I would think a team
would all be set and ready to achieve our goals. The groups I lead were with
Olympia Sports Camps Outdoor Education Program. I had groups of young
adults that I had to make cohesive and teach them how to lead. Within my

basketball team, although we all have the same goals, we have different
work ethic. I love having the natural leadership charisma which I am thankful
for. I want to use it for positivity and making a change.
Career Plan
In a short few months, I will be graduating the 3 Year Sport
Management Program at Durham College. I will have completed my
internship with the schools Athletic Department and be educated in the
business of sport. Within the next 5 years I want to have started my agency. I
want to change female basketball players lives by sending them to play
professional basketball outside of Canada. One of my strengths is that I do
not give up. This will help with my future because even if no one believes in
me, I will create an empire.
