5. The Importance of People
Camp is an experience most do not forget
The people at camp make the camp amazing because you develop friendships while being very vulnerable, but equal in all things – you survive by sheer character
You are a role model; if you realize who you are, it will be easy to give that part of yourself to your campers

7. One Question What is Leadership?
We will go over all these in detail at camp, however start thinking about….
What is Leadership?

8. Leadership Defined
“Management is how to do things right, leadership is doing the right things.” -Peter Drucker and Warren Bennis

9. Leadership “Flavours”
Many madmen were effective leaders, but terrible human beings
A true leader is the one guided by a deep set of PRINCIPLES that are unshakeable, based on UNIVERSAL TRUTHS

11. Walking you through…
Think about what is important to you in a list of single words… Eg. -Kindness -Justice -Dignity -Bravery

12. Then add the next level….
Eg. -Kindness….to those who are in need of it -Justice….to all -Dignity….in the face of scorn -Bravery….when faced with uncertainty

13. Exploring your centre…it will adjust, but should never fail
Kindness to those who are in need of it Justice to all Dignity in the face of scorn Bravery when faced with uncertainty

14. With this center you radiate to the world…
Family
Kindness to those who need it Justice to all Dignity in the face of scorn Bravery when faced with uncertainty
Relationships
Finances
Career
School
Society
Pleasure
Church

15. We must lead from our heart (centre) and manage with our heads
Lead from your
We must lead from our heart (centre) and manage with our heads

16. Your Heart is Amazing
If you are tuned to your centre, your Heart is the two way radio to God! If you had that access, would you turn the dial? DON’T TURN THE DIAL!

17. But where are we leading to?
Once you have the proper center, you can now define SPECIFIC goals for yourself
What are your FINANCIAL, PERSONAL, RELATIONSHIP, CAREER Goals, Now and in Five Years? These are important to write down now, they are your destination.

18. So Beginning and End….. What about this part?!!
Center (Your Car!) GOAL (end point)
What about this part?!!

19. Your Road Map GET A BETTER MAP
Plan your trip! Now its time to use your mind!
Set out the streets, turns, road markers, coffee breaks, and sights to see along the way
BUT STICK TO THE MAP! (DISCIPLINE) if you don’t, you most likely will get lost!
If you realize the map is not getting you there
GET A BETTER MAP

20. Why does my personal center, goals and road map matter to camp ?
Why does this matter?
Why does my personal center, goals and road map matter to camp ?

21. Remember this slide?

22. Know thyself….
LOGIC: If you don’t‘ know how to drive a car, what route you are taking, and where you are going, should someone follow your example to get to their destination?
If you don’t know yourself, you aren’t leading from anywhere
If you know who you truly, honestly want to be, you have identified your centre!

23. Director’s Pledge
I individually picked you because I believe in you and your abilities
I want you to see the same potential in yourself as I do
I pledge to you that I will help you in this journey, always – but you must want it first.

24. UNF’s NEW Direction
“In line with the principles of the UNF, Camp Sokil’s mission is to honour our Ukrainian heritage while providing a thoroughly Canadian context. Camp Sokil aims to provide the perfect setting for campers to develop life skills, build lasting friendships and learn about their Ukrainian ancestry. Through our dedication to quality programming, our thorough training of staff, and our “Golden Wings” Team, Camp Sokil prepares Ukrainian Canadian youth and children for leadership positions in society.“

25. WE DON’T FLY, WE SOAR!

26. Soniashnyk! Or should I call you that? ;)
