A LEADERSHIPJOURNEYDaniel Wohlberg | Alumnus | YLA Class of 2001 | LAMC Class of 2010I want to suggest that there are few instances more empoweringthan when someone affirms <strong>leadership</strong> in you. That outsideperspective has the capacity to rock your entire world: yourself-perception, your confidence, your value systems, and ultimatelyyour life course. It is an amazing feeling to be able to sayto yourself “Hey...I AM a leader!” If you’re reading this article, nodoubt at some point in your journey you’ve had this experience...As a youth, it had never occurred to me that I could be a leaderamong other leaders. Don’t get me wrong, I did feel that I broughtsome skills to the table, but I usually saw the strengths of mypeers before my own. I never expected to “move and shake” inhigh school...that is, until I was shaken and moved by simplewords to see myself as a leader by important people in my life,who nominated me for YLA.Is it dramatic to suggest that YLA shaped who I am today? Askmost any other student who has been immersed into the idea ofservant <strong>leadership</strong>, community service, and changing the worldand I imagine they will say the same. YLA gave me the tools tomake a mark and the desire to leave a legacy. That idea only grewas I practiced it in high school and graduated to bigger arenas.I’ve had the unique opportunity to have also participated in LAMCas an adult and working professional. Sure, I already had aworking set of <strong>leadership</strong> skills, but I figured it couldn’t hurtto have some extra professional development to put on the ol’resume. The result of that experience was much more, however:the expansion of my professional network, the greater awarenessof my community, but most notably a renewed affirmation.To recognize that - even among those I admired in my <strong>leadership</strong>class, who had already accomplished so much, I was charged asa capable leader in the community and worldIt seems that the Leadership Academy’s mission - both for youthand adults - is to change the world by nurturing world changers.What a privilege to be among those ranks! Today, I find one of mygreatest commissions in affirming. Having had my life changedby the simple, sincere words of people willing to take the timeto observe what I had to offer the world, I don’t take lightly theopportunity and responsibility to empower others. What I’m tryingto say is this: don’t withhold affirming words when they’re due.Don’t miss the opportunity to set the course for a future leader.Alumni Questionnaire… we are seeking stories/quotes/one or two liners for future E-newsletters andmarketing opportunities. We want to thank Daniel for his story…we appreciate his community work and for being a servantleader role model.• What impacted you the most from your LAMC or YLA <strong>leadership</strong> experience?• What <strong>leadership</strong> skills that you learned during your time in sessions do you use or have used?(Please write a brief note about the skill(s) and how you used it/them?)An example:The other day at a statewide meeting I talked with Neil Bagadiong, LAMC’03, Dir. of Admissions/Asst Dean, Ivy Tech-Columbus. He hadreferred back to his binder for the introduction questions that we always asked at the beginning of each session…a great communitybuilder for any group.• Where do you serve…volunteer…give back…make a difference?
