This is our annual State Career Development Conference.
My name is Wendy Menchu-Lopez.
I am the Associate State Director for the organization and I'm excited to share that we are welcoming over 800 conference attendees, which includes students, advisors, as well as business professionals who are here today to judge our events.
I kind of find leadership as a way to make a difference and to make an impact.
So it's more it's not really like a dictatorial like you do this, you do this, but for me it's more so let's all do this together and let me help you and guide you towards these successes.
Leadership in this competition really means getting up in the morning, man, because it's hard.
But just getting up, getting ready, being prepared, being confident.
Even if you're not confident then fake the confidence because thats the only thing to do.
So some of the leadership that I used here, it's like leading some of my teammates around, like telling them like what they should do or what they should like, say, like over here during these interviews.
We did virtual business.
They're like little games.
And I help my team take first place in state.
And although it was a little difficult, I try to lead my friends and my group in the best way possible, showing them how to do the financing and everything.
It was a it was a little difficult, but that's h Leadership means to step up to the plate when no one else is there, or no one else wants to, and just take control, just lead everybody to success.
I know I was one of the first people to go do the competitions earlier for sports and entertainment my fault.
and I didn't really know what to expect.
So when I see my teammates come in here, I gave them the rundown on what they needed to do or just lil tips and tricks.
That was all him.
I just listened to what he said.
Yeah, he's the leader.
