[00:00:12.000]After coming back from our first LEAD seminar, I remember being
[00:00:15.000]asked kind of what my thoughts were on the LEAD Program. And I
[00:00:19.000]specifically remember telling people that it was so nice.
[00:00:23.000]It seemed like you got put into a room with like-minded people, which is something that is rare
[00:00:28.000]in a lot of rural communities. A lot of places that we go
[00:00:31.000]back to just to find kind of that, like I said,
[00:00:35.000]that group of people that you're going to be able to share ideas with
[00:00:38.000]share passions with in the agriculture sector.
[00:00:41.000]You know, that's been
[00:00:42.000]a contribution to a lot of the benefits that come along with LEAD.
[00:00:47.000]The confidence that it gives you to be a leader...
[00:00:49.000]...being able to stand up and say your name proudly and say where you're from
[00:00:54.000]does go a long ways
[00:00:55.000]especially when you're making first impressions on councils. When
[00:00:59.000]you're trying to go out there and as a young professional
[00:01:02.000]being able to have that confidence to to let people know
[00:01:05.000]who you are and your capabilities in that role.
[00:01:09.000]And I plan to kind of take that and run with it on my own community
[00:01:13.000]when I get back to North Platte.
[00:01:15.000]I always knew that I wanted to go start
[00:01:18.000]joining groups, but I was really anxious
[00:01:22.000]to get through LEAD so I can be more equipped with it.
