Ready to Lead

Building on the foundation of skills of Wind & Tide’s Literacy Program and communication skills of Toastminors, Ready to Lead further develops the concepts of leadership with a focus on public discourse, critical thinking and action. At Wind & Tide, we believe that every child has the ability to be a leader in their own unique way. We want to nourish the young leaders of tomorrow, instilling integrity, value and self-confidence; skills they will need to impact the world around them.

What does it take to be a leader?
  • L - Listening skills: good leaders are strong listeners
  • E - Encouragement: good leaders encourage those around them
  • A - Asking questions: good leaders get to know the issues and people with whom they interact
  • D - Drawing people out: good leaders inspire participation
  • E - Excite: good leaders excite people to follow
  • R - Role model: good leaders have strong virtues

These traits will be developed through:
  • development and discussion of executive functioning skills (guided by Steven Covey’s book “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People”)
  • service projects (guided by student initiative)
  • partnership with Free the Children (Canadian based NGO)
  • games
  • and role-modelling from our exceptional staff

Students are encouraged and mentored to think about and speak out on issues that matter to them and the world they live in. Whether those are passions in the arts, sports and leisure, community, environmental, political or even international activism and justice, the Ready to Lead program teaches children to lead by giving a reasoned, empathetic voice to their ideas.

Ready to Lead builds upon concepts learned in the Toastminors program, a strongly recommended prerequisite. Ready to Lead is designed for students in Grades 3-6. Classes run one day per week, from September to June, with performance evenings in January and June.
