It was another great day at MLW! Delegates finished Round 1 of workshops (see descriptions from our previous post) and began Round 2:

Failure and Success: Delegates explored the relationship between fear, risk, and failure. They identified their personal “locus of control” and learned habits to increase resilience and foster a growth mindset. They discussed the components of personal and professional success. Last, they reframed failure and identified why it’s an essential part of leadership.

Diversity and Intersectionality: Delegates defined diversity, intersectionality, and bias. They explored the different facets of their identity to understand how those different aspects affect them. They explored living in a diverse society.

Impact and Influence: Delegates differentiated between influence and impact, and examined their own unique voice. They worked to understand the extent of actions and consequences, and explored how student leaders are capable of making an impact.

Delegates continued to make progress in their tuning groups and in their region meetings. and Reality projects are close to completion.

Wednesday night’s activity was an MLW favorite – Messy Games Night! On Thursday, we were treated to a talent show with amazing performances from our delegates including poetry, music, dance, and more.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow at 10:45am for the closing ceremony in the Retriever Athletic Center (the RAC).
