Leadership Week: Dare to Dream

Everyone has a dream, the only difference is that some of us make them happen. Some people actually Dare to Dream

What are you doing for Leadership Week?

Many people dream, but Sir Peter Blake set his mind to a goal and went for it, believing that "change comes through realising the vision and turning it into reality." This year during Leadership Week 2012 from 22 - 29 June be inspired to Dare to Dream by demonstrating and showcasing leadership in your community.

Leadership Week is an annual event for all ages that highlights the value that great leadership provides for New Zealand. As Sir Peter Blake showed New Zealand, there are leaders and there are dreamers. Leaders make things happen. Dreamers have a vision. The truly special people do both. 

Today, the Sir Peter Blake Trust invites you to Dare to Dream in your business, school and community by organising and participating in events which celebrate and develop leadership.

Leadership Week begins with the honouring of the prestigious national Sir Peter Blake Leadership Awards on Friday 22 June and closes with national Red Socks Dayon Friday 29 June. 

The Dream Team 

As part of Leadership Week this year the Sir Peter Blake Trust has launched the Dream Team, which aims to get 100 volunteers into 100 classrooms to inspire 3,000 kids. To find out how to get involved, click here.
