Apex Leadership Lessons
This week, students learned about leadership.
▶ Our first Apex leadership habit was Aspire.
It’s awesome to have big dreams and big goals – it helps us to strive for greatness. And when we aspire for greatness, we also inspire those around us to DREAM BIG too!
▶Second Apex leadership habit is Self-Starter.
Self-starters set out to accomplish things without being told to do it. They give themselves a little “spark” to get pumped up and motived to take on each and every day!
▶ Third: Apex Leadership habit is Own it.
There are two parts to “owning it” – First, we step up and embrace responsibility. The second part is being accountable for our actions, successes, and mistakes. No matter the moment, JUST OWN IT!
