This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending a leadership boot camp organized by the Higherlife Foundation in collaboration with Young and Dynamic. As a representative of the University of Zimbabwe, actively engaged in leading community engagement projects, this experience provided a significant opportunity for personal and professional growth. The camp focused on team building and personal development, essential components of effective leadership. Through a variety of activities—both enjoyable and challenging—I gained valuable insights into the identity of a leader, as well as the necessary skills and roles associated with leadership. It is an honor to have take back some great lessons and scares. Key lessons learned include: The Importance of Leadership Hierarchies: I realized that even leaders require guidance. In a group of 21 individuals, it is not necessary for everyone to take on every task; a few skilled individuals can effectively represent the team. The Centrality of Teamwork: Effective collaboration is crucial. Understanding the skills and competencies of each team member ensures that we can leverage the right talents when needed. Our goal is unity in diversity, working together to achieve our objectives. Networking as a Relationship Builder: The camp provided an excellent platform for networking with peers from various universities and backgrounds. Engaging with coaches was particularly enriching, as it allowed me to learn from their experiences while also facilitating opportunities for others to gain knowledge. Stepping Outside Comfort Zones: One activity prompted me to confront my hesitations and participate despite my initial reluctance. This experience underscored the idea that excuses can hinder our growth and limit our opportunities for learning. Indeed, excuses make you seem so small Embracing the Present: This lesson speaks for itself and emphasizes the importance of being fully engaged in our experiences. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our patrons Mr and Mrs. Masiywa Tsitsi Masiyiwa, Mrs. Molobi Elizabeth Tanya Masiyiwa and the entire Higherlife Foundation leadership for granting us platforms like these to grow.
