1) Personal Reflection
What is your own personal
leadership mission? What are your own core values? How do you handle
conflict? What are you grateful for? What are the uniquely personal lessons
that you should take from your service experiences? Your answers to these
questions are incredibly important to your own development as a leader.
Equally important, this deepening of your own self-knowledge empowers you
to become a more effective mentor, guide, and role model to the students that
you serve.
2) Practice Reflection
As you confront the
remarkable complexity of your daily service experiences, what
personally meaningful questions should get your attention? The Idealist’s
Journey will develop your skills at finding the right questions to ask
about your service, and will provide you with opportunities to explore
those questions with peers to ensure that you access the many invaluable
leadership lessons embedded in your daily service. By providing you with
regular opportunities to step away from delivering service in order to
think deeply about your leadership challenges, the Idealist’s Journey
strengthens your service impact while deepening your own development as
a leader.
Through these two types of
reflection, the Idealist’s Journey develops your self-knowledge
and empowers you to more effectively understand and address complex
challenges. It’s another element of our comprehensive approach to
leadership development designed to ensure your success at City Year and in
any field you choose to pursue after graduation.
