About

Reboot the Future partnered with "Imperial + Networks" to deliver an impactful leadership workshop titled "Be a Positive Force for Change: Values-Based Leadership and the SDGs." This 2-hour session engaged nine students from Imperial College London who played a key role in rolling out the university’s SDG survey. The workshop explored the transformative role of aligning personal values with life and work, empowering participants to envision the leaders they aspire to become.

Objective

  • To provide participants with an opportunity to reflect on their personal values and purpose.
  • To explore the alignment of values with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
  • To inspire action-oriented leadership among students as they tackle global challenges.

Solution

Reboot the Future designed a dynamic, interactive session fostering reflection, connection, and collaboration:

  • Welcome and Intention Setting: Setting the stage for open and purposeful engagement.
  • Values Exploration: Participants reflected on childhood inspirations, current values, and the role of purpose in their leadership journey.
  • Interactive Activities: Group discussions, post-it note exercises, and pair conversations explored pivotal questions such as "What breaks your heart?"
  • Values and the SDGs: Participants examined how their personal values align with the SDGs and identified actionable pathways for creating positive change.
  • Multimedia Inspiration: The session included the short film We Are Antarctica to inspire systemic thinking and emotional connection.

Result

  • Personal Reflection: Participants gained deep insights into their values and motivations, fostering a renewed sense of purpose.
  • Engaging Conversations: Lively discussions on leadership challenges, including powerlessness and half-hearted actions, energised participants and built shared understanding.
  • Action-Oriented Mindset: Students expressed a strong desire to take further action, including organising student assemblies and attending future Reboot events.
  • Stronger Connections: The session strengthened bonds among participants, creating a safe space for vulnerability and authentic dialogue.
