Youth Leadership Institute Video 2008 Produced by Fernanda L Ferreira May 20, 2008
The youth leaders involved in the Leadership Institute for Network for Peace through Dialogue, Brittani Anderson, Jahmala Cornelius, Erica Johnson, and Roshelle Wickham, have created a very motivating video discussing their personal involvement in the Leadership Institute. The youth leaders, motivated and committed members of the institute, all unanimously agreed that their involvement has been a learning experience in which they have further developed leadership skills along with other priceless skills. Moreover, they discussed how influential the program has been on their lives outside of the Leadership Institute.
Whoever stated, “You are your worst critic” could not have been more correct especially in the case of the four youth involved in the Leadership Institute. After evaluating the video they had created, they agreed overall that they all did a great job, however, they also pinpointed things they could improve. For instance, better eye contact with the camera. Also the excessive use by some of the word “like” and the sound effects “um” and “uh” in their speech and furthermore, speaking slowly and using proper language so that the listeners are able to clearly understand their message.
