- You will develop a specific, actionable plan of personal growth and achievement.
COURSE MODULES
This course is divided into eight comprehensive modules, each focusing on a specific aspect of each of us. These topics include:
INTRODUCTION
The objective is not to figure out what you want to be “when you grow up” but to further align who you are with what you do. You have many choices – there is not one answer – this course will help you refine and narrow your decisions. Instructions for Journaling and the Final Life Plan document.
NATURE AND NURTURE
Our Nature is what we are born with: our genetic heritage, our gender, and our innate talents and capabilities. It’s important to recognize that our nature is not fixed and that our choices and behaviors actually do change the genes in our lives! Most of us would say that the most significant influences on who we have become are our parents and our family of origin. Our parents are our first role models. We imprint on them; we model their beliefs and behaviors.
CHARACTURE AND PERSONALITY
Character drives many of our behaviors and choices. Character is destiny. We will also explore our “emotional intelligence” since how we manage our emotional selves impacts our relationships, successes, and failures. Personality activities are a group of standard personality tests. There are two significant benefits of these. The first is obvious: increased self-knowledge. The second is that we become aware of the various forms of personality out there in the world.
CULTURE AND STORY
The cultures that we are a part of become a part of us. We are porous critters, and we become what surrounds us. We are raised with the pride of our nation and the stories of our culture. We are taught how to behave and what to believe through our cultural myths and stories. How much of your worldview comes from the stories you have heard? As a teen, the music and lyrics of the day were more potent to me than the literature we read in school – they shaped my beliefs and values, even today. What are the stories that you love (for what you love, you emulate, and you become)?
BELIEFS AND VALUES
To many, beliefs are the foundation of our existence. They form the framework for all actions, the filter through which decisions pass. Whether this is conscious and concrete for you or not, it is true. Your values shape your life. We are more malleable than most of us believe. When we imagine ourselves in the future, most of us expect that we will be much the same person we are today. Look back on your lives: how much you have grown and changed on your path to where you are now?
DRAFTING AN PUBLISHING YOUR LIFE PLAN
Here’s where it all comes together. A Life Plan and goals that you can use in the important decisions in your life.
