Last week I worked with a group of 18-24 year olds in Auckland who were having a week long leadership course. It is inspiring to work with youth who actually do believe they can make changes to the world. There were several on the course who I believe will do this.

The old visions of leadership as being first over the top and everyone follows saw not evident at all. These were all reflective, thinking young adults who really valued the opportunity to do something for the world. It does leave one slightly humbled to be in their presence.
