the seed of leadership

Leadership:
Being the eldest brother, I was a role model for my brothers and sister and that was the first seed of leadership in my life

Taking initiative:
-Participating in national and international events by publishing several articles about:
oCollecting data and Statistic studies on :
- Geriatric oncology in colorectal cancer. (JICC* - October 2014)
- Geriatric oncology in stomach cancer. (JICC* - October 2014)
- Geriatric oncology in pancreatic cancer. (JICC* - October 2014)
- Geriatric oncology in liver cancer (liver carcinoma). (JICC* - October 2014).
- Pancreatic cancer (world Gastro-Intestinal congress - Barcelone - July 2016).

Statistic study and a research to explain why my home town has a higher rate of men with breast cancer (3.5% and the international rate is 0.5 to 1%)

-in 2008, a flood hit our city, in that day i saw my leadership skills in action, where i was able to save my family, our precious holdings (stuff), and some of our neighbors, the flood was only for a day but it was a catastrophy

*la Journée internationale du Cancer - Constantine.

Influence:
-In my work I came in contact with cancer patients who refuse treatment, patients who lost hope in having a chance to be cured, so I tried to convince them in order not to give up and keep fighting, I succeededmost of times to start the treatment.

-We don't have a psychologist in cancer unit, so i was both the oncologist and the psychotherapist to improve my patients' mental health, i gave them hope and the will to fight this horrible disease, i even have patients with stage IV cancer who are alive since 2012, thanks to the psychological support.

-Volunteering to do many awareness days about breast cancer:
oAt the police department
oAt university
oOn the radio station (where I received a lot of calls and questions) and in open area
As a result of conducting those awareness days, we started to treat more of early cancer stages.

@docRecioui what are you doing in this presentation? Are you seriously presenting an outline presentation of leadership and influencing skills to the Chevening reviewer? What ever gave you the idea that you are applying for a job here and you should pass an outlined resume to the reviewer? This is the best way to be disqualified during the screening process. Correct your presentation. Use the required format as per prompt requirements.

You must present the information in a narrative essay format that uses specific examples from your background (academic, volunteer, professional) that will help to create the idea of your leadership and influencing style in the reviewer's mind. The reviewer needs these outlines to be presented in an expanded format, with proper discussion presentations as to how these L&I skills were developed and continue to evolve as you perform your professional tasks at present.

The Chevening scholarship application process should not be confused with a job application. The essays are part of the preliminary screening and interview process. So follow the prompt requirements. Do not deviate from it. Chevening has been known to disqualify applicants who do not follow the required format for information presentation.

@docRecioui, about your leadership essay - you need to further explain the examples you have given. In the first paragraph, you should tell the reviewers what you have done and what made you being the role model of your siblings, and how leadership seeds were planted. The flood incident I think it's a good one if you could say more what happened back then. You have to be specific what you did to help your family and the communities, and how it shows your leadership skills. In the third paragraph, you mentioned you made medical decisions and management choices, but what decisions & choices were they and how did you lead your colleagues? I think you can remove the conference and publications part as it doesn't tell the reviewers anything about your leadership skills, unless you were the PI of these projects. Hope it helps.
