"This value-driven leadership becomes a catalyst for authenticity in the growth of those around us. Whether with colleagues or students, my focus has shifted towards fostering environments where they can grow holistically, developing not just in skills and knowledge, but also in character, relationships, and sense of purpose. The WPEL Program has reminded me that the true measure of leadership is not how many people follow us, but how many grow holistically because of the way we lead."

"I believe that effective leadership begins with self-awareness and self-example, extends to meaningful collaboration and service to others, and drives sustainable impact to the world. This WPEL program’s emphasis on whole person development aligns with my passion to lead with integrity, empathy, and vision." 

"...I no longer see leadership simply getting things done but as a daily opportunity to lead with clarity, integrity, and compassion. The program has also given me the language and courage to align my leadership more closely with what I truly believe in equity, wellbeing, wholeness. It’s helped me reimagine what leader can look like in education: not reactive or top-down, but transformational and deeply human. Overall, WPEL has helped me become a more grounded, relational and values driven leader- one who leads not just with strategy, but with soul."

"I learned to design responsive, future-ready educational strategies rooted in contextual relevance and technology. I was able to consolidate the three components and addressed building institutional systems and partnerships for long-term impact and quality assurance. [I] identified frameworks to align Depth, Horizon, and Frontier with institutional quality."

"The WPEL Program provided us with various insights. But one that I will always bring with me is that – In our fast-evolving world, be it the VUCA or BANI or whatever comes next, leaders should be able to adapt, and be guided by self-reflection and discernment, empathy towards others and commitment to the mission, which are all important aspects of leadership."
