18 areas where youth can start leading their professional journey

How do I lead myself?
This question can be quite daunting and lead to anxiety with the thought that we need to have leadership qualities or a super duper self motivated self, at all times.

At CoVersity, we break this down and we lead in many ways.

I lead myself by

  • choosing which domain i am interested in
  • experiencing different domains deeply so that I find what really interests me
  • choosing and taking up challenges for my own growth
  • planning my learning journey
  • creating my plans and my roadmap
  • finding and doing industry work
  • supporting my peers and seeking support from them
  • doing work which is meaningful and relevant
  • doing daily review and regular reflection of my learning – i call it self assessment
  • working closely with my peers, taking feedback, pulling pushing each other
  • finding what skills are required in my field and developing them
  • seeking mentors from the industry
  • building my network of people in my industry
  • taking most of my decisions – what, how, when
  • being accountable to myself and my plans
  • finding clients or organisation who will give me industry work
  • taking up relevant internships to learn directly from experts in my domain
  • reflecting which areas of my self I need to develop and working on them with my peers
