Oct Week 1: Leadership - Florence Nightingale

This week we talked Leadership.  Malia led a discussion about the leadership qualities Florence Nightingale exhibited, and this led to a discussion about various other leaders who demonstrate the same qualities.  We spoke of selflessness, humility, perseverance and a willingness to work right along side (or even before) the people you are leading.  We compared these qualities to such leaders as Jesus, Martin Luther King Jr, Abinadi and many more!

See the comments below for Kai's inspirement project that he wasn't able to share during our discussion due to technical difficulties. :)  If anyone else has any inspirements to share, please do so!  It's always great to see what you come up with!

Thank you, everyone for contributing to the discussion!  We look forward to seeing and hearing from everyone again next week!
