On May 12, WeLoveU members in Chicago, U.S., held the “Mother Leadership” seminar at South Shore International College Preparatory High School to cultivate students’ correct values and a hopeful future.

Principal Michelle Flatt actively supported the smooth running of the seminar, calling it a valuable opportunity for students. Ellen Rozelle Turner, CEO of the management consulting firm William Everett group (wegrp.com), led the discussion. The session was moderated by WeLoveU member Kardia Michelle, who engaged students with thoughtful and witty questions, fostering a meaningful and dynamic dialogue.

Turner shared that it was her mother who shaped her into the leader she is today. Through her mother’s love, she learned to overcome challenges, cultivate compassion, and develop passion for her goals. She emphasized how today’s adults serve as powerful influences on future generations. Encouraging the students—soon to step into society—she urged them to dream big and strive constantly to achieve those dreams, so that each of them may grow into an inspiring leader.

WeLoveU believes that simply being exposed to the stories and experiences of leaders from various fields can greatly influence students’ visions for the future. It can motivate them to carve their own paths and pursue leadership with confidence and courage.

We hope that the ”Mother’s Leadership” seminar, which empathizes with children’s struggles and encourages their dreams with a mother’s love, can play even a small role in nurturing many future leaders.
