Changemaker Leadership Day

The female student leaders went to Avonside Girls High School on Thursday. We attended the Changemaker Leadership Day for females in leadership. This was an opportunity for us to listen to a diverse group of successful women in various roles of leadership. Speakers included Marina Shearer, Nadine Hickman, Jo Mathieson, Tanya Muagututi’a, and Melissa Benge.

An important focus of the day was the DISC personality test. This is used for leaders to identify what style of leadership they have as well as their character traits which can help them in other aspects of their life.

Congratulations to Jody McCarthy-Dempsey for winning a extended DISC profile and coaching to help her develop her leadership skills. She can use the skills she learns to help the other student leaders.

Thank you to the school for this opportunity, we took a lot away from this experience. A very big thank you to Rachel Scott for transporting and supporting us on the day.
