Young Womens Leadership Seminar

 

On Thursday 5th June two of our aspiring female leaders headed into the city to visit Parliament and attend the Young Women's Leadership Seminar.

The Seminar started with a talk from Nina Earl, a science Curator and Communicator  who in 2018 participated in the Homeward Bound Expedition to Antartica.  She gave a compelling talk about her leadership journey.

She shared four ideas that she felt important to becoming a leader:

1. Take the plunge - the first step is always the hardest

2. Have Integrity - always be the best you

3. Never give up - especially when things get really, really bad

4. Believe in yourself - even when no one else seems to

There was also time to meet three female parliamentarians and to witness a division in the Upper House.

This was a fantastic experience for the girls and hopefully an inspiring one.

Lets look out for the girls in future elections!
