Being the political nerds that most of us are, we were very excited to be in the heart of the political world. We arrived at The Leadership Institute (LI) in Arlington where we were greeted by nothing less than an American Flag and a painting depicting the signing of the Constitution.\u00a0 We settled into our bunkbeds in our dormitories and got an early night for a busy week ahead. Sunday was spent exploring the iconic landmarks of DC such as the Capitol Building, the Supreme Court and the White House.<\/p><p>Our week at The Leadership Institute kicked off in true American style with black coffee and cream cheese bagels. Our first day involved an intensive media training workshop with Beverly Hallberg, expert media coach from the District Media Group where we were thrown behind the camera giving different styles of interviews on topics we were passionate about. It was cringe-worthy watching the playbacks of these videos in the studio, \u201cI\u2019d wish the earth would open up and swallow me!\u201d Francine said.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc99a2b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bc99a2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-leadership-institute-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15455\" alt=\"Two women smiling at camera in front of Leadership Institute logo and American flag\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-leadership-institute-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-leadership-institute-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-leadership-institute-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-leadership-institute-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-leadership-institute-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-leadership-institute-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-leadership-institute-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-leadership-institute.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-222f3fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"222f3fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Tuesday was spent in the classroom starting with a seminar by Abby Alger, Director of Digital Training. We worked through the elements of effective op-eds, press releases and media advisory. The rest of the day was spent with Stephen Rowe, Deputy Director of Digital Training learning about social media, social networking and video editing. Stephen lit the classroom up with his bright and positive energy which made the day go super-fast! With Stephen\u2019s guidance and patience, we were all very impressed with the final product of our videos, \u201cI might become a professional vlogger now\u201d, Annie boasted. That night we all settled in around the TV to watch the State of the Union speech. It was pretty incredible to imagine that President Trump was just around the corner giving his address.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0968b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d0968b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-leadership-institute-group-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15456\" alt=\"Eight professionals stand together on a TV studio set with blue backdrop and wooden floor.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-leadership-institute-group-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-leadership-institute-group-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-leadership-institute-group-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-leadership-institute-group-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-leadership-institute-group-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-leadership-institute-group-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-leadership-institute-group-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-leadership-institute-group-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-leadership-institute-group.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d300380 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d300380\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It was a bright and early start on Wednesday morning for the Wednesday Wake Up Breakfast. Jon Miller, White House Correspondent on BlazeTV captured us with his iconic presentation style and good humour about the Trump Administration. Our day formally began with Dr John Shosky, Professional Speech Writer and Speech Coach who had worked in the Reagan, Bush and Trump administrations. We listened to all his tips and tricks on what makes a good speech and analysed some famous American speeches such as the Gettysburg Address. Over a Chick-Fil-A lunch kindly provided by Tiffany, we had to write our own speech on where we thought the future of the conservative movement was heading. It was an exciting, yet nerve-racking experience sharing our speech with the class. We wrapped up the day with dinner at \u201cWe, The Pizza\u201d with our new American friends from the Leadership Institute.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28df9a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"28df9a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-supreme-court-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15457\" alt=\"Two women smiling on Supreme Court steps with marble building and columns in background\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-supreme-court-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-supreme-court-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-supreme-court-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-supreme-court-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-supreme-court-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-supreme-court-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-supreme-court-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-supreme-court-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-girls-supreme-court.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb1f8bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bb1f8bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our final day at the Leadership Institute continued with John, where we fine-tuned our public speaking skills further and went through the fundamentals of speech writing. We were all very grateful for John sharing his abundant knowledge on public speaking, but we were most impressed with his wild and captivating stories about the Reagan administration, DC and his personal travels. Tiffany arranged a true American lunch for our last day which including buffalo wings, Ding Dongs and Twinkies! During our break, Kade and Damon also got the chance to be on The Leadership Institute\u2019s podcast. We left The Leadership Institute feeling inspired, but also sad to leave our new friends.<\/p><p>There were tears and long hugs as Annie left us to face the treacherous 26-hour flight home on Friday. The rest of our day was spent visiting the Lincoln Memorial and the WW2 Memorial. It was moving to see these iconic monuments. That evening we had a change of pace and caught up with the interns at the Leadership Institute to get a taste of the DC nightlife! We have met some incredible people and learnt some amazing things in DC.
