Hi Swift Kickers! You might read this DFT tip and think: “But I am a FIVE! I am in the middle of the dance floor, a real student leader, starting my own parade! Someone’s gotta!”
Sabina here, Community Manager at Swift Kick, and I have to admit, I thought something similar at first. Here’s how I figured this one out:
Another one of our DFT tips is that events are not about you: make the connection between two people and get out of the way.
See, it isn’t about you doing crazy awesome big things all the time, though you definitely should do that. Sometimes, being a student leader is about supporting other budding student leaders. Think of it this way, one of your duties as a well known leader is to help other students make their own waves.
So next time you want to do something big, but don’t have an idea, go help make someone else’s parade the best one in town!
