Lettuce Talk About Ethics

Jacinda Ardern is the third Prime Minister of New Zealand, and the youngest since the mid-1800s, elected at age 37 . She was able to uniquely engage with many voters, and specifically, " her ability to communicate with people and talk in an open and honest way that [didn’t] sound like a traditional politician. " Ardern started her political career in high school and quickly rose to power. She worked as a researcher for the PM Helen Clark, and in 2007, she became the second woman ever elected president of the International Union of Socialist Youth, the world's largest international political youth organization. She also has experience working in political Cabinets in Britain. I think Ardern is a great example of a conscious leader.

Worldview. Something that people may not necessarily think about frequently, or even at all. A worldview  can subconsciously influence how someone perceives things, their thinking, their knowledge, and their doing. There are seven elements of one's worldview according to Ken Funk, and it can be clearly seen how these elements are interconnected. My worldview stems primarily from believing in the supernatural.
