While determining the structure for my blog, I was a little confused on what content I should be entering. I reflected over a cup of tea, looking out the window at the Headstart children enjoying the day. I often when faced with a difficult leadership decision find myself looking outside my office window and thinking about how my decision might impact their future. I decided the structure should reflect my journey towards becoming a stronger leader and mentor to my community.
I first thought of structuring the site based on course names but then considered the value of this format and what my blog might look like, long after I graduated. I then thought more about what I wanted to achieve and decided that I would like my page to be is functional, and possibly utilize it long after graduation.
You see I have an opportunity to give back to my community and set my organization up for long term success. The current organization started under my leadership and will continue to be here long past when I’m gone. I thought about how in my community cultural teachings we are here and working for the next 7 generations and how my work could have an impact on our future leaders. I therefore decided the best structure was to mimic the core competencies of the course because this reflects why I’m here and that is to be a better and stronger leader. I want to take part in reconciliation and the best legacy I can leave behind is a strong leadership structure for future leaders to learn from. I can’t think of a more rewarding way to finish my career. But for now I’m still young and have lots of work to accomplish yet!
