With the theme of the Conference being: Deliver the Promise, on the 6th day we went through the LEAD session. During this session, we were taken through an introduction to the session on the different kind of leaders: The maker, the executor, the mover, the influencer, the connector and the dreamer.

We also went through the protective mindsets and the learning perspectives that were the stages of growth.

We then had a chance to think about the obstacles that prevent us in our leadership journey and goals and what we can do different in order to overcome them.
