However, I didn't stay as active in college, and I'm not sure whether it helped me or not careerwise. It's hard to say! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-lot-of-leadership-positions-growing-up#post-493880 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 13:01:00 +0000 Meridian 493880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was pretty shy, but my first leadership position was at 17. The Taiwanese summer camp I attended every year asked me to lead their youth choir! That definitely was a starting point in giving me confidence. The next year they asked me to plan and coordinate the entire end-of-camp talent show (while also leading the youth choir). </p> <p>Then in college, I continued the whole show thing and head coordinated our big Asian American fashion show for 2 or 3 years. That was one of the best things I ever did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-lot-of-leadership-positions-growing-up#post-493871 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 12:57:12 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 493871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a fair amount, but it was never top of the top stuff... More like "Social coordinator" or "Curriculum council", not like "President". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-lot-of-leadership-positions-growing-up#post-493862 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 12:55:46 +0000 tororojo 493862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a few, but don't think it impacted me much in the long run. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-lot-of-leadership-positions-growing-up#post-493725 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 12:18:09 +0000 .twist. 493725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gosh no. I hate being in the spot light and was way too shy. I'm definitely not a leader. *bleat bleat* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-lot-of-leadership-positions-growing-up#post-493718 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 12:15:09 +0000 autumnlove 493718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None! I don't think it has impacted my life or career. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-lot-of-leadership-positions-growing-up#post-493700 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 12:11:10 +0000 mrbee 493700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was pretty quiet growing up and didn't like the spotlight (still don't). I never sought out leadership positions and regretted it when I started work after college.</p> <p>Did you have a lot of leadership positions growing up? Did it have an impact on your life/career? </p>
