Intro:
For the group leadership activity, my three classmates and I chose to lead and teach a small group about cultural competence, relationships, and bystander behavior, topics we decided on at our first group meeting.

Another message is that, when working with others in a group, it is good to be humble, putting one’s own biases and beliefs aside. Also, practice helps one do better. Every group leader in my group practiced how we were going to present our
