MY LEADERSHIP PORTFOLIO

Hello, everyone.

My name is Dorcas Magic Academy and welcome to my

leadership portfolio.

So first of all, what is leadership?

So to me, leadership has been present.

Um, even if it's just holding hands just being present

for people being present in people's life and also leadership

is making a positive impact.

And to do this, you don't necessarily have to be

in somebody's life.

Actively think of the leaders that you look up to,

um, on T V and the news and politics.

Those people are not actively present in your life, but

they do make a positive impact.

Now, my definition of Day one leadership is approaching every

day like it's your first day as a leader.

You know, doing everything that same excitement that you feel

on day one of going back to school or starting

a new job.

Um, approaching leadership or approaching whatever you do, um, being

the kind of leader that you would you you think

that you would like to be on your day one.

Now we're going to go over my mission statement.

I pledge to be the best I can be.

I will live a life filled with love and happiness.

I will live a life that impact others positively.

My future is bright, and my ability to succeed has

no limit.

I am a star, and I will shine to help

me. God, uh, my mission statement comes from, you know,

the kind of future that I envisioned for myself.

The kind of life that I want to live every

day, the kind of intentions that I have for myself

and, um my kind of my leadership style, my leadership

style is being present, you know, having building great relationships

with people, having a great connection with people.

And, um, from that break connection helping people to be

their true self.

Um, I love, you know, relating with people and them

not feeling like they have to pretend around me.

I like people just hoping up and being their true

self around me.

That's my style of leadership.

My strength.

I'm open minded.

I like to build things from different perspective.

I'd like to think of different scenarios.

I like to think of different people and how they

approach different things and try to understand people.

I am a very loyal person.

Um, I'm very loyal to a fault.

like I am very territorial with my friends.

All my friends know this.

My family notice.

Um, I'm a very passionate person.

When I get interested in something, I get really deep

and intense and, yeah, my passion is really strong.

I am very self aware.

Um, I've taken the time to study myself to understand

myself. I'm still studying myself.

I really enjoy discovering things about myself.

I think that the more I'm able to understand myself,

the more I'm able to help other people understand, Understand

theirselves. Um, understanding myself means that I know who I

am, and I'm being attentive.

And that helps me to also move I had in

life and another another.

One of my strength is, um I do have great

relationships. I have I'm able to build relationships with the

people in my life.

I like to have honest conversations, so that helps me

to build great relationships.

Um, the areas that I do think that I need

improvement would be, um, decisiveness.

I can be pretty indecisive at times, and that comes

from you know, when you're able to view things from

different perspectives, it can be difficult to like make choices

and the second thing, um, that I also need to

work on would be perseverance.

I kind of I usually have, like, a lot of

interest in different things.

So it's easy for me to lose interest in things

which can result to me not persevering and seeing things

to an end.

So basically, now the leaders that I do look up

to the leaders that that I, um, identify with would

be the number one.

The number one would definitely be Trevor Noah.

And the reason that I really do identify with him

is he is also an immigrant.

He grew up, it was born and he grew up

in South Africa, and I've been reading a story which

is really interesting.

I really connect with him the kind of childhood that

he had coming from that kind of childhood to, um,

you know, moving to the United States and making a

name for himself.

You know, it's really a story of grass to grace

and the kind of relationship he has with his.

With his mother, he hasn't really.

His mother was a really strong.

She is a really strong personality in his life, and

it's kind of the same for me to my mother

is, um, a really strong person in my life that,

you know, she's actively present for me.

So I definitely connect with that.

And I identify with that with Trevor Noah, another leader

that I identify with would be Oprah Winfrey.

I identify with the part of her that connects with

people, and, you know, she's able to feel a sense

of empathy so strong.

And she she's just someone that, you know you just

want to open up to.

And you want to tell everything about yourself.

The third person would be definitely Alexandra Ocasio Cortez.

I couldn't identify with a part of our that is

able to speak up.

That is outspoken.

That is passionate.

So I definitely do identify with that.

Um so going next, my achievement, values and leadership recognition.

So my achievements so far?

Um, well, one of my major achievements would be joining

the army that required a lot of courage, resilience and

perseverance. I tell you, the military is not a joke.

Um, so it really I had to really put in

my best, and that was that.

Still, you know, one thing that I'm so proud of,

Um, another one of achievement is taking the leadership courses.

Um, when when I was told about the leadership certificate,

I wasn't really I was kind of skeptical about it,

but I decided to keep the help of mind, you

know? And the journey has led me to, you know,

be more attentive to know myself to learn more about

myself. Basically, myself, awareness has increased and has improved so

much. Um, and the third of my achievement would be

supporting my family and friends.

I like to be there for my family and friends,

and this comes from a place of love.

Um, from generosity from having great relationships and being able

to build empathy, Uh, my core values, my core values

would be one authenticity.

I am saying that I like to stay true to

myself. I like to be myself, Be honest with myself,

to be honest with the people around me.

Um, second one would be I'm a very passionate person.

I can get really intense.

You know, I put my mind to whatever I'm doing.

Um, the third would be I'm over minded.

Um, I like to keep over mind.

View things from different options, you know, gets me in

a lot of conversations.

A lot of argument, but it's always interesting.

Um, another, um, core value of myself is self awareness.

I am knowing myself.

Understanding myself is something that's really important to me.

Um, and finally, impact.

You know, I'm all about having a positive impact on

the people around me, you know, making a positive contribution

to my community and stuff like that.

How do I recognize that the ship and others?

I just try to identify the positive thing about the

person. And I believe, no matter how terrible a person

could be like, there's something about them that you can

look at That, you know, is a positive aspect that,

you know, lets you see the leader, the leader in

them. And why is this so important to recognize leaders

and others?

It is important because, you know, when you recognize people

and their leadership, you increase the chances of you know,

the person wanting to repeat those things.

So you're you're you're you're creating an environment of leaders,

basically, um, so going forward, the edge of the bed

advice. So my number one edge of the bed advice

would be.

Do not limit yourself.

Um, definitely.

Do not let people project their own limitations on you

because people would advise sometimes based on what they assume

is your capacity.

But then nobody knows it.

You you there's there's no limit.

You can do a lot of things.

The opportunities are limitless and boundless.

So do not limit yourself.

And do not let anybody tell you what you can

and cannot do.

Um, second edge of the bad advice would be.

Forgive yourself.

I feel like there's a lot of people walking around,

you know, with hurt with guilt.

And it really doesn't you know, doesn't help.

I mean, don't get me wrong.

If you do something wrong, you should feel remorseful.

But after that, move on from it.

Learn your lesson learned for you from your mistake and

then move forward my third bed of the edge of

the bed.

Advice would be, This guy is wide enough for but

to fly without collision.

Just like from the day Want book, which says that

to live in an economy of abundance Um, don't don't

look at it like everyone is out to get you

or you have to get things before others get it

or you're You know, it has to be a competition.

It doesn't have to be rather work on yourself.

Work on making yourself indispensable and you know you would

succeed.
