Patty Hendrickson | Episode #13

Patty is a professional public speaker from La Crosse, Wisconsin. She speaks to companies, organizations, and student officer teams about leadership development.

Energy: Bringing the energy to everything you do is crucial. Patty says to meet people at their energy level. This will allow you to make a better, more meaningful connection.

Public Speaking: It's not about you, but rather your audience. "Connection before content." This means that the relationships you build as a speaker are extremely important. Try to warm up your body before giving a speech on stage. Taking a moment of silence when you are about ready to begin is a great tip.

Team Leadership: Creating a sense of trust and vulnerability on your team is a must. This will allow ideas to flow more smoothly and a more efficient team. Try sitting by the person you know the least at your next meeting or activity. Value the opinions of underclassmen or new members.

Lamarr Womble | Episode #14

Lamarr is a motivational speaker and founder of Passion for Leadership. He primarily works with middle school, high school, and college students from across the country. From leadership to personal development, school culture to passion, Lamarr is driven to empowering the lives of future leaders.

Passion Mindset: This frame of mind is an on-going piece of work. You must be prepared to handle adversity at all times and make the switch when it'd needed. Understanding what you were made to do is key to being an effective leader.

School Culture: The first step is to go on a "listening tour." Take some time to hear what other students, faculty, and teachers have to say about what's taking place within the halls. This will give you the most realistic starting point in regards to your school's culture. From there, you can work to develop certain pillars you would like to emphasize.

Teen Adversity: The pressure and expectations about going to college can negatively consume high school students. Between AP courses, writing essays, filling out scholarships, and standardized testing, it can be a lot to manage. Focus on defining your success and practicing empathy and execution at all times.
