Kano's Workshop
Let’s flip the script on what leadership looks like. In this workshop, we will explore what it means to lead with empathy, purpose and still make an IMPACT. Through meaningful but fun hands-on activities, we’ll unpack how kindness is our strength and how we can use this powerful tool for leadership. Whether it’s at school, in your friend group or out in the community, we’ll explore how to bring people together, create change and stay true to who you are. Leadership doesn’t have to boring or bossy, let’s find out how we can make it fun, real and something that makes everyone included!
