Taking the Lead

Leadership is all about taking the lead, setting the pace and blazing the trail in a given task. Leadership is not occupying a seat; it’s accomplishing a feat. It’s not occupying a position; it’s making outstanding contributions.

I have learned from CLD that leadership is not a position, it is about influencing people and creating positive change, and leadership is not about authority, it is about service. I thank the ALDC team, as this is the best, most organized and orderly course I have ever attended. Today, I have become much more valuable than I was in the organisation.

Everything I have wanted answers to have been answered during this programme. Business-wise, it has opened up a new horizon for me and I have transformed from being a transactional leader to a transformational leader. In all, the lessons learned have gone a long way in making me a better leader and enhanced my status and capacity for my entrepreneurial and nation building drives.

I loved the way the facilitator simplified digital literacy and tied it to leadership, using vivid examples. Initially, I was wondering if my efforts to build digital capital were worth it. I’ve now become more encouraged to show up as a digital literate, to make impact and to publish it. So detailed and rich. The facilitator is a gifted teacher. His voice carries his passion into the words he uses and beckons the ready heart to act. Highly Impactful

I have become better in my non-verbal gestures and I am more intentional about finding my purpose. I loved the fact that, the session was practical as it related with real life situations. They really got me thinking; I was not bored at all, because it was engaging and the style at which he delivered was superb! I loved it. I heard for the first time vital points I have not heard anywhere else before. I really hope we could have more of his sessions.

I left that class with a new knowledge, a new view of responsibility. Realizing that I’m responsible for where I end up in life and finally understanding the various aspects of my life where responsibility is needed has really opened my mind. I believe I’m more motivated now than ever, to take up the responsibility for my life. It was mindset-restructuring, to say the least. I’m glad I paid attention instead of browsing or sleeping off, like I’d previously thought I’d do. This is the best I’ve been privileged to be a part of.

I’ve always considered myself to be responsible, but today’s TMC session gave me a whole new insight and perspective on the topic of responsibility. It has given me a new perspective on responsibility, and it motivates me to act within that sense of responsibility. I loved the way the facilitator really explained what it means to be responsible as individuals like he was well acquainted with the concept of it. Also his explanations and the lecture as a whole were really inspiring and motivational. I liked the way the facilitator approached the teaching, making me want to focus on his every word. He was able to relate well with the class. In my opinion, this was the best TMC class I’ve ever attended.
