The Global Leadership Summit is so contagious, once you are in, you never want to opt-out, except you are not a value-added driven person.
My first encounter with the GLS was on invitation to serve on the board of directors for GLS Liberia. At this time, I was working in Government as the Deputy Director for Administration at the State Radio (National Broadcaster) ELBC.

My leadership lessons gave me the confidence to take on the challenge at my workplace. As the only female manager, I could relate more to the employees by listening to their issues and helping them in finding solutions.

Then I introduced one-on-one meetings, which I learned at the summit that the culture of any work environment is only as good as the leader wanted it to be. This propelled me to change the work culture since I did not subscribe to protests and riots as a way of making change happen.

Then we sent our employees to attend the GLS, they all came back different and with a change of mindset about what a workplace should look like.
As the only female executive, I became their mother, peacemaker, teacher, and administrator. Our organisation was transformed, we began to experience peace, unity and team spirit. There were no more riots and protests because we were seeing and doing things from a different and positive perspective.
I also work with the YMCA of Liberia, and in 2018 we embarked on a new venture to create awareness on the use of drugs and harmful substances amongst young people through ‘’The Agent of Change’’.

The principles at the GLS have been useful for me in working with the youth because I believe that the youth is the strength of any nation.
I have also experienced a change in my family with the teachings from the GLS, as it has helped me to have a better relationship with my children and to be a better parent.
There is so much positivity with the GLS that even when I am down or tired, there is always one thing that brings me back on my feet. The constant and timely interactions refill me and keep me going.

As the current administrator of a school, I use the tips and lessons to speak to students in large groups and I enjoyed the impact this is making.

May God grant us all that we need to keep the GLS alive. I pray for a stronger GLS in Liberia despite all the challenges.
God bless the GLN!
