NEST Leadership Camp

How It All Begins?

The Human Development Division at Leave a Nest is dedicated to nurturing talent, fostering growth, and empowering individuals to realize their full potential. Through a comprehensive array of programs, workshops, and resources, we are steadfast in our commitment to shaping well-rounded individuals equipped with the skills, knowledge, and mindset necessary for success in both personal and professional pursuits. Our overarching mission is to inspire a lifelong passion for learning, cultivate leadership qualities, and foster a community of empowered changemakers poised to make a positive impact on the world.

Recognizing the immense value of leveraging our diverse flagship programs to empower the next generation of talent, we have initiated our unique training program known as NEST Leadership Camp. This program is designed to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and effective communication utilizing our very own Science Bridge Communication (SBC) practice. We believe that the synergy between our flagship programs and this initiative will serve as the cornerstone of our efforts to nurture future leaders in science and the broader community.

Phase 2 – Communication Stewardship

Communication Stewardship in our leadership training program is aimed at instilling and applying specific skill sets among trainees. It's a valuable concept that encapsulates the idea of communication on effective leadership, whereby by mastering the nuances of verbal and written communication, participants will enhance their ability to convey ideas, collaborate effectively, and engage their fellow students as well as the audience in real-world scenarios.
