Hello everyone! My name is Ingrid Sierra and I\u2019m really looking forward for our time together! I\u2019m from Tegucigalpa (capital city), Honduras. I have been in Canada for 4 months now, we moved to start the Leadership Program. I have been married to Fabricio for 3 years now, no children yet. \u00a0I enjoy learning new things, whatever they may be! I have tried painting, photography, volleyball, soccer, swimming, dancing, debate, etc. I enjoy being busy! I\u2019m always involved in some project or trying to develop a new skill. The next in my list: any musical instrument! (never tried exploring my musical\u00a0<\/em>skills, singing is definitively not one of them).<\/em> I truly believe you never know if you are good at something, until you try it (several times).<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m passionate to advocate and work on behalf of vulnerable people, especially children and youth. I have had the honor for the past 6 years to work for Christian international non-profit organizations. I have been managing development projects (construction, water, health, life-skills, etc.). Visiting the poorest communities in my country has been a life changing experience. In the midst of poverty, I found hope and joy thanks to all the effort of local churches and community members. It has inspired me to work and equip myself in the best possible way to help vulnerable people in my home country and around the world!<\/p>\n

Regarding strategic leadership, I had some experience managing grants. I coordinated the design and implementation of a 5-year strategy to invest in key areas of holistic development for children and communities with limited funds. It was a challenge, not to mention its implementation with local communities. A clear vision is important but influencing others to commit is even more important! Being a strategic leader is not an easy task.<\/p>\n

I look forward to learn from everyone\u2019s experience on their different fields. I hope this class provides us useful tools and knowledge to improve our strategic skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
