What Participants Are Saying
“DTBY has helped me grow as both an individual and a member of the community. Through its Leader Within Workshop, I am constantly inspired to create change with like-minded leaders in the community. I am looking forward to having fruitful discussions with members of the CYC and propelling the future leaders of our community.” – Leader Within Participant
“Leader Within was a wonderful experience in learning to branch out of my shell and interact with new people in a virtual environment. I found myself stepping out of my shell often, and doing so in an environment with other people just as passionate about leadership was a really cool thing to experience. I think often about how we talked about marathons vs sprints- that lesson has stuck with me, and helps me structure my life in new ways that I haven’t thought about before.” – Leader Within Participant
“Leader Within has helped me understand myself better. I now know how I should solve different problems. My favourite part was learning about energy, which has already helped me in my daily life!!” – Leader Within Participant
“Leader Within helped me find my identity and understand more about myself.” – Leader Within Participant
