Leadership and I

To put my leadership skills into practice, I have been planning on running a gelli printing workshop at Speak Out, a charity that specialises in learning disability advocacy in Brighton and Hove.

In this workshop, I will help others learn how to create their own gelli prints with the techniques and materials I have used.

This workshop gives me great opportunity to utilise my knowledge and leadership skills. I have experience in running workshops and art classes, so I am confident and excited in doing it.

At the start of the project, I chose three types of leadership; charismatic, collaborative and inclusive leadership.

Keeping charismatic leadership in mind, I am determined to help people to feel comfortable and welcome, which is the atmosphere I want to create in my printing class.

By hosting an art club, I intent on creating a welcoming environment. As I’ll be teaching people the skills and techniques needed for gelli printing, I want everyone involved to feel included and confident in their work.

I am determined to create an inclusive environment for everyone involved, as inclusivity is also one of my leadership styles.
