Energy is important in the last half of the semester.
How do you use the following aspects to GENERATE ENERGY? Write a sentence or 2 about each one. (You may have to go to the back of your Radical Leap Book to review some of the terms below):
- Love
Not putting judgment to any individual person in particular (I want to be clear: I am not saying there can’t be judgement for individual acts). Where we live is our home, so making sure that the home is a safe place to live for everyone. This is a really tricky job. I feel like there is a lot issues arising in my community among residents.

- Great IdeasDiscussing ideas with peers, mentors and resident. Learning from what everyone else is doing and the experiences they are having. Listening, reading the signs and being open to ideas.
- Noble Principles
Learning from the observation and the feedback that I get from the students and mentors. Listening, reading, reflecting, critical thinking, writing and just having a conversation with people around me.
- Interesting work
Asking them what kind of activities people would like to do. Planning the activities and notifying everyone on time. Providing the help and the support network when needed.
- Exciting Challenge
Asking question to think beyond the norms and conventions. Challenging my own thinking in order to generate growth in myself. Setting the bar above the comfort zone.
Thank you for your reflections. You mentioned here and at the Tunnel the importance of judging acts acts and not people. Are you at peace with this? Your post made me think about the change pyramid in the Anatomy of Peace. At the base of the pyramid is "relationship building" and at the top, the smallest piece is "corrective action or coaching." For the most part, our ability to correct and mentor people depends on the large base of relationship, and relationship is impacted on how we can "get in the shoes" of others, like Jenny in the book. I know that you have been "inviting people" to change in your community and you have been trying harder to "get in their shoes" by planning activities and getting to know them. How are you feeling about how that is going?
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the time you took with Tunnel and serving the community. I'm glad that we went there as a PA team and had some time to discuss. I think that we all got a lot out of it.
