YLS2017 Day 5: Martha's Experience

Team building at the BYTE Leadership Workshop

Day 5 of the Summit brought us back to Whitehorse, but not without a few stops along the way. Zoé and Hana from BYTE led us through workshops centered on leadership, communication, and community awareness. We took the David Baum & Associates Leadership Wheel assessment, a tool which assesses your leadership styles during positive and negative scenarios. This self-reflection is an important element of personal growth. Later on we broke into smaller groups to discuss our home communities: what makes our communities strong, what fosters a sense of community, and what positive changes are ongoing to improve engagement. It was a day of personal growth which strengthened our network of young leaders, and helped guide the idea development and writing of our climate change declaration.
