Leading with Heart
“Our greatest natural resource is the minds of our children.” —Walt Disney
What does it take to stand up for something or someone? It takes courage, sure, but also "empathy"—the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It's different from "sympathy," in that you aren’t feeling sorry or pity for someone; you are attempting to relate to them by feeling what they are feeling. Without empathy, the most effective leaders from our past and present would not have been able to achieve their most enduring accomplishments. Today at Camp Kinda, you'll learn about the power of empathy, how to communicate with heart, and what it takes to stand up for what's right.

Watch as these renowned young leaders from different corners of the world stare their fear in the face, step inside of the world of the issue they are most passionate about, and take a powerful stance for their community and the world.

In the world of activism, empathy and passion for an issue often leads one to action. However, for true change to come about, you must motivate others in your community and beyond! The leaders you listened to earlier all started where you are now. They didn't always have a following. At some point, after taking their own stance, they had to ask themselves, "how do I convince others that this issue is important and that it affects more people than just me?" Well, this is the moment where you begin to think about the story you will share to bring others into your movement.
