Conrad's initial focus within his presentation was the importance of consistency in our lives. He provided real-life examples such as going to the gym to achieve real results, learning a foreign language to receive college credit, and adopting golf as a new hobby to become better at the sport.
[more]On March 3, Mia Leko gave a presentation on how to be a leader when you are not a leader within the room. According to Mia, we learned the characteristics of good and bad leaders and everything in between. However, we neglected to reflect on how to demonstrate leadership when we are not in the position of leadership. She believes that as seniors at Dartmouth, we are at the top of the hierarchy learning to lead respective groups on campus, but next year we will enter the workforce. We will be junior analysts at the bottom of the hierarchy.
