The Rangatira 2023 Conference challenged and developed our leadership skills in many unexpected ways. Over the three days, we had sessions regarding different aspects of leadership. We identified the reasons for, and the values behind our leadership, and how we could best use our different strengths to put these into practice. Then we learned about teamwork skills, including how to run successful meetings, pitch ideas to a group, and be an effective public speaker. Finally, we spent a day planning ideas in our school groups for what we would like to achieve next year.
Overall, it was great to meet such an awesome group of like-minded rangitahi, to get involved, and to be empowered to take our skills forward into 2024!
