A Young Leader

Throughout my life, I’ve often found myself in leadership roles, even from a young age. This started as early as primary school, where we had three teams for sports day, each named after local areas we represented. At the age of 10, I was made captain of Team Erlston. Looking back, I think it was because I was the fittest in my class.

Another notable moment came when I was appointed chairman of our Robert Burns Supper at 12. As chairman, I had to stand up in front of families, recite poems, and present prizes. It was a significant responsibility at that age.

As a child, it's easier to step into leadership roles if you stand out in certain areas—whether it’s being the fittest, the strongest, or the most confident. These early experiences lay a solid foundation for future leadership roles. However, the challenge arises for those who’ve never had these opportunities but find themselves in leadership roles later in life, often due to time served or simply being well-liked. Without proper leadership training, these individuals may struggle. While some might naturally adapt and become strong leaders, more often than not, they fall short.

The goal of my Revolutionary Leadership Academy is to minimize the number of unprepared leaders by offering high-quality leadership training and regular evaluations. My vision is to ensure that all businesses invest in effective leadership training for their staff, laying the groundwork for successful leadership at every level.
