“This is a blast,” said Dave Raymond, the original Phillie Phanatic.
He was talking not about his years entertaining Phillies fans (although he remembered those fondly) but about being the guest speaker in a recent Siegfried Youth Leadership Program® event, which aimed to build character and leadership traits in young people.
Raymond joined members of the The Siegfried Group at its youth conference on Tuesday, March 7, at Clayton Hall on the University of Delaware campus. Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics alumnus Rob Siegfried founded both the company that bears his name and the youth program, the latter designed to help young people transform themselves into better leaders to enrich their lives and inspire positive change. Partners in the event include Junior Achievement of Delaware and UD’s Center for Economic Education and Entrepreneurship. phillie phanatic halloween costume
Speakers challenged 400 students in grades eight through 12 from in and around Delaware to develop positive character traits that would help them become effective leaders.
“Remember, there’s a lot of circumstances we can’t control in life,” Lauren Campbell, one of the Siegfried hosts and a regional chief of staff, told the group. “But one thing we control is our character ethic. We get to control how we show up to a situation.”
