2022-23 Theme:
Managing our Energy to be Connected, Creative and Confident Leaders
Energy Management is a framework that allows leaders to recognize the positive choices they can make in managing their lives – and those choices allow them to be connected, creative and confident, for themselves and others.
The program will focus on building a culture where leaders manage their energy that allows those around them to be inspired by a sense of possibility. When leaders have energy they are more creative, anticipatory, connected with those around them, nimble to make change and most of them are having more fun!
The program aligns with the BC Core Competencies of Personal Awareness and Responsibility – Self-advocating, Self-regulating, Well-being.
Purpose
The 2022-23 ISABC Student Leadership Program brings grade 7/8 students from across the ISABC community together in a non-competitive environment to learn leadership skills and explore important issues relevant to both students individually and on a global level. This program enables students to find their voice and empower others.
Program Facilitator
The ISABC is thrilled to be working with Jill Payne. Jill established Be A Dime Energy Management and began transforming the lives of those she connected with. As a multi-sport athlete, Jill represented Canada in both Sprint Canoe and Rugby before turning her focus to helping others. Her background in kinesiology and education eventually led Jill to her Masters in Employee Engagement & Workplace Performance. As a speaker, we look forward to Jill’s balanced and motivational style which is contagious and inspiring, as well as accessible and actionable. Jill is excited to meet the ISABC student leaders and teach them her favourite life mantra – that life is meant to be joyful!
