James Moore, winner of the 2021 Master Plumbers Outward Bound Scholarship, talks about his experience on the 16-day Young Leader course - what he expected, how it went, and what he got out of it.
Challenges were presented without too much assistance from instructors, so we had to work as a team and figure it out.
I've come away with so many lessons which I think I'll continue to look back on for years to come. I'm a better communicator and I think a better person.

Why would the boss of a very busy Wellington plumbing company send one of his senior apprentices on a 16-day Outward Bound course?
Mike Gooch of Glennies Plumbing says it was a no brainer because the positives outweigh the negatives.
I'm a much better person. More communicative. Much more confident and now know what I want to achieve in life. I have a clear direction of what I want to do.
