Leadership Development is one of the core activities of our annual Life-Skills and Leadership Camp. Students had a chance to share and discuss inspirational leadership quotes by leaders from around the world. To change things up for this blog piece, we thought it would be fun to have different AEP voices share the leadership quotes that inspire them the most.
