Video question one
In three words, how would you describe this leader?
Keep it instinctive. The first three words that come to mind are almost always the most honest and the most powerful. Take you time and let them land with the power of how you feel about them.
You will have up to 20 seconds.
Video question two
Why does this leader deserve this award?
This is the heart of your nomination. A specific story or moment is far more compelling than a general statement. Think about what changed because of them, for a student, for a colleague, for a school.
You will have up to 60 seconds.
Video question three
What has been the impact of their leadership?
Outcome. Legacy. Share the stats and the story to help us understand their impact. What is different today because this person showed up? This does not need to be grand, a single changed life is enough.
You will have up to 60 seconds.
