Think you know what it takes to be a great leader? Think again!

You’d be surprised to know how many great business leaders graduated from high school and college not knowing what they wanted to be or without plans mapped out for their impressive careers.
So how did they get ahead in life? With the some of the same leadership skills that you may already have!
In partnership with Hawaii Business Magazine and the support of local university athletic departments, the Girl Scout Council of Hawaii has created a leadership development opportunity for Hawai`i’s girls, young women, and business professionals. Living Leadership is a multi-generational business forum designed to help Hawai`i’s girls and college women athletes develop a deeper understanding of leadership with the guidance of women and men of the working world.
Participants will have a chance to learn from business professionals from different industries. The evening starts with selected guest speakers featured in Hawaii Business Magazine, followed by small breakout groups and a Q&A session. Participants of all ages will have the opportunity to interact with each other and discuss issues related to leadership:
Marci Waialeale Sarsona, Principal, Ke Kula 'o Samuel M.KamakauLaboratoryPublicCharterSchool
Barbra Pleadwell, Partner, Hastings & Pleadwell
Kapua Sproat, Counsel, Earthjustice
You do not need to be a Girl Scout to participate. All girls (ages 15-18), college women athletes and their peers, and business leaders are invited to join us for:

You don’t have to be elected student-body president, win a championship title, or close a multi-billion dollar deal to prove that you’re a leader. By understanding and learning about the qualities that make someone a successful leader, we can continue to practice and grow our personal leadership skills - in or outside the classroom, the weight room, or the Board Room.

Girls Today…
According to research by the Girl Scout Council of Hawaii and the YWCA, the top worry of girls ages 15-17 is their future. Girls that age are feeling the pressure of doing well in school, getting into the right college, and being able to succeed. Their situations are compounded by their fears of making the wrong decisions (where to go to school, where to live, where to work, what to do).
Girl-Adult Partnerships
Living Leadership is designed to incorporate a concept central to any Girl Scout experience - Girl-Adult partnerships. Research repeatedly demonstrates the crucial role adults play in guiding and inspiring girls to grow and achieve great things. Girls learn not only by doing, but also by seeing strong and positive role models in action. To learn more about the Girl Scouts’ Leadership Development Program, visit www.girlscouts.org.

What Makes A Leader “Great”
While technology is rapidly changing the way we learn, work, and live; it cannot prepare our future leaders with qualities of the heart - work habits, motivation, and other leadership values needed to flourish. According to researcher and author Jim Collins of “Good to Great” (www.jimcollins.com), some of the greatest business leaders have all demonstrated the same qualities of “personal humility” and “professional will”. By understanding and learning about the qualities that make someone a Level 5 leader (such as modest and willful, humble and fearless) we can help Hawai`i’s girls and young women to identify and develop their own personal leadership skills.
