We are proud to congratulate Nicki Sneed, Senior Engagement Coordinator at Goldmark Property Management, who was selected to participate in the Leadership Fargo Moorhead West Fargo’s (LFMWF) Class of 2025! This prestigious program, designed to empower and develop community leaders, will allow Nicki to sharpen her leadership skills while contributing to vital initiatives that strengthen our region. Her selection reflects her commitment to excellence, and we are excited to support her on this journey.
We asked Nicki what the experience has been like so far:
Q: After the first couple of sessions, what has the experience been like?
Nicki: This has been an incredibly unique experience. Getting to work with other leaders in the community in a myriad of different roles and industries has been so insightful. I feel like I’ve already gotten to challenge myself in so many ways and find new ways to communicate. I’m excited to see what the next sessions hold and continue to grow and collaborate!
Q: What was one key takeaway or insight you gained from these first two sessions?
Nicki: Having confidence is not a requirement off the bat. What’s more important is that when you’re nervous or scared of something is that you do it anyway. Being faced with something you’re scared of and doing it anyway is hard, but so rewarding and vital to your journey. Bravery begets confidence, and doing something you’re scared of each day will create those building blocks for you!
Q: Is there anything you’re looking forward to learning more about throughout this program?
Nicki: I’m really looking forward to continuing to work with leaders in the area and continue to grow and strengthen my own skills in our industry and organization. I’m looking forward to working on our Community Change Initiatives, in which we will implement programs or activities that will help improve the communities we serve and live in!
One of the activities that Nicki and the other members of the Class of 2025 got to participate in was a Challenge Course which tasked everyone to essentially face their fears and work together.
“The goal of the course was to strengthen our bond as a class and break down any barriers so that we could trust each other implicitly. We relied on each other for motivation and also worked to (literally) lift each other up,” Nicki says.
“We did a ropes course 40ft in the air, climbed trees and jumped from the top, and threw ourselves into freefalls. We left feeling tired, and bruised, but proud of ourselves and each other for overcoming our fears!”
We look forward to talking with Nicki more next Spring after she completes the program!
