Yosef Fares
WHAT
My first interview was with Yosef Fares. He is a Head coach for Madera High School in California. He is in his second year in that position. He was a perfect person to interview because in his first his team was 0-10. And this season they made the playoffs and won in the first round. Bring them to a 6-6 season record. I found during this interview my thoughts on Leadership were not a far off as I expected them to be. I found that the emphasis on empathy was very important in Coach Fares opinion.

He has kept moving forward in the direction that continues to make him better at being a leader. And he knows the will never be done learning and he can never learn it all.
I first thought I would be intimidated by these people. Because of how much work they have put into their lives, it has allowed them to do so much good in the lives of others. In reality, I really enjoyed these conversations. Getting the opportunity to talk with theses people about their experiences, failures, and how they overcame those to bring them to where they are today. And The eagerness of these people to share their paths was great for me to see.
I walk away knowing I have a lot to work on and a specific way I must go about it. I have to keep and improve on the idea of being a lifelong learner, as well as keeping an open mind to other paths and thoughts. I have to work harder on showing empathy towards people, but not to a point where I would be taken advantage of. If I can continue to do and improve on these things I have the chance to really create something great for myself and be able to impact the lives of others in a positive
