Purpose of Teen Leadership
Lesson 1
To teach you Personal, Relational,
and Leadership Skills
In essence, how to:
 Walk
 Talk
 Make a good impression
 Present your ideas
 Think for yourself
 Work with difficult people
 Pursue excellence in the face of
difficulty
Discussion question:
 What would you have thought of me
if, on the first day of class, I had
propped my feet up on the desk,
looked sloppy, and not happy to see
you?
If you give 100%, you will be
incredibly successful!
Many of you are already in positions of
leadership. What I want to do is help you
improve those skills so you can be even
more effective. Besides having the skills of
a leader, you must also know the
underlying principles by which leaders
make decisions and lead their lives. The
bottom line is that I believe you can do so
much more than you have dared to believe
about yourselves! It’s time now for you to
believe in yourselves!
