- Goal Setting: You have to know what you want in order to take the steps to achieve it.
- Teamwork: We achieve more when we work together, but doing so effectively takes practice.
- Leadership: Stepping up enhances college and career prospects, and helps lift peers along too.
- Agility: Change is constant. The ability to adapt and overcome is crucial.
