How can I gain Leadership experience?

Question

I really want to get some leadership experience, but I seem to be struggling to get! I don't want to go abroad (i.e. sports coaching, volunteering) and I don't want to spend to much cash £2000 tops! I had originally had the opportunity to do some camp america/camp Uk stuff- but due to finances and dissatisfaction with the contract I let it go- I'm regretting doing so now- as I just can't seem to find that perfect opportunity- plus I'm not quite sure where to look- I'm hoping to do it this summer? Anyone have any ideas/ knowledge/ previous experience or useful websites?

Mucho Thanks

Answer 1

If you want to get a real leadership course and five years spare, then enroll in a Martial Arts club, when you reach the highest belt you are entitled to a Leadership Course which allows you to run your own club.

Also, The Army does similar leadership courses but it's full time.

Answer 2

Leadership abilities is really by experience and volunteering is a great way to learn. Getting involved in your local community is a great way to start cultivating leadership abilities.

Good luck to you.
