Last week, I had the opportunity to take part in the Leadership and Skills Development Dayas part of my Laidlaw Scholarship journey.
The day was a brilliant mix of reflection, collaboration, and leadership in action. Highlights included:
- Exploring and reflecting on personal leadership themes from our MS Forms submissions
- Designing a marketing strategy for vegan snacks and pitching to a ‘Board of Directors’ while facing uncertainty (being poached by headhunters and a chicken scandal with our influencer - to name a couple)
- Discussing organisational culture, ethical leadership, and presenting back as groups, with some incredible academic performance.
The sessions really pushed me to think critically about how I lead under pressure, adapt to uncertainty, and foster collaboration.
I am very grateful to be part of a community that encourages both self-reflection and practical leadership growth.
I’m also excited to share the results of my summer research project very soon – watch this space!
