Day to Day
A great day at Front Line Leadership is a day of creating content. There are a lot of brain storming sessions to come up with better ways of providing leadership lessons. We know not everyone learns or processes information the same so we strive to find the best way to educate leaders. But the very best part is hearing success stories from one of our workshops, articles, videos, or books. There is no better feeling than receiving positive feedback!
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
Start learning and improving your "soft skills." These skills are lacking in every professional field and if you can communicate verbally and you are not afraid of public speaking you will go far no matter what you chose to do in life. These skills will help you in every aspect in life such as relationships, negotiations, and networking. Also, never give up on learning! Read everything you can on a topic that you are interested in and seek mentors.
