My Leadership Story

This is my response to Sadie Thompson’s My Leadership Story.

Hi Sadie, thank you for being so open and honest while sharing your story. It is inspiring to hear about how your conscious efforts to make healthy choices has helped you face and overcome some of the struggles in your life.

Your story was very well-spoken and I am especially impressed that you were even able to add background music! Your tone and articulation was really good and I truly enjoyed listening to your clip.

The vulnerability that you showed in sharing your story really sets you apart as a good leader. It’s not easy to share the most difficult parts of our lives (especially on the internet!) but your ability to do so allows others to connect with you.

Thank you for sharing your story!

Simarjit, it was such a pleasure getting to know you during this course. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Coming from an immigrant family myself, I identify and connect with your story on a personal level. I am amazed by all your achievements despite having grown up in a society where sexism exists and dictates the paths that many females are given.

I agree that our stories are marked and molded by those around us. Like you, my greatest inspirations have been my parents, who taught me the importance of hard work and perseverance; and my husband, who supports my decisions and endeavours even if it means sacrificing on his part. I just had my baby girl two weeks ago, but I imagine as she grows, I will have lots to learn from her as well.

I really enjoyed the strength you showed in your story. You were humble, but confident in your abilities and achievements. I believe that is an important leadership quality. You instill confidence in your followers because you do not diminish your abilities, but you are still down-to-earth and modest.

I hope we will cross paths again during this program! 🙂
