LEADING WITH ENTHUSIASM
“I began to realize how important it was to be an
enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are
interested in something, no matter what it is, go at
it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms,
hug it, love it and above all become passionate
about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good
either. White hot and passionate is the only thing
to be.”
Roald Dahl (1916-1990);
CORE VALUES
Guide our daily actions.
Lie at the core of your personality.
How do we live our personal values, how do we
live our shared values?
How do we deepen our awareness of the values of
the people we serve? The people we lead?

TRIADS


When you have finished writing, create triads
(small group of 3 people) and find a comfortable
spot to sit.
Each person will have 3 minutes to talk about
their “person” and their reflections of what this
person brought to their life.
After 10 minutes, come back to the larger room.
