Week 2: Personal Asset Mapping & Goal Setting

Today was a day for all of us to look inside ourselves and see what skills and assets we each brought to the group. We completed a Personal Asset Inventory and examined our strengths and weaknesses. We then developed person goals to help us to develop those weaknesses into strengths. We followed a specific goal setting formula and discussed the importance of making goals measurable.

We also attempted to complete a team building challenge called The Human Knot. Students had to join in a circle and hold hands with different people across them, creating a knot. They then had to work as a team untangle. Unfortunately, we hit many road blocks (which we will discuss next week) and will have to complete this challenge at a later date.

Students also completed a colorful personalities worksheet to see where their personality tendencies come out of each person (the organizer, the spontaneous action taker, the pensive planner, the data collector, etc.) Knowing more about who we are as individuals will help us to form a strong bond as a team.

It was a tough day of a lot information, but I am excited to see how we grow as a group throughout the year!

Peace,
