March\u2019s Topics included My Leadership Journey Speeches, and Active Shooter & Casualty Care in the Workplace.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our session began with a welcome from the Mercyhealth Team engaging us in some trivia with questions specific to our Real Colors. We then moved onto the either highly anticipated, or dreaded, 2.5-3 minute speeches on \u201cMy Leadership Journey\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the speeches we learned that leadership commonly stemmed from youth sports such as baseball\/softball, football, golf, and soccer. We also heard that leadership came from many other sources such as fitness instruction, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, FFA, observing and modeling parents, Police Academy training, being first born, student council, balancing college with work, competitions, law school, city council, and experiencing growing up in a single parent home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were plenty of laughs, tears, and takeaways. Some of the recurring advice from our peers included leadership skills being transferable, the importance of getting to know the people that you are working with, and leaders will not ask their employees to do something that they are not willing to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
