February 14th Meeting Reflection

1. Name of Cohort Meeting:

2. 3 Things I Learned


  • I learned that I have already completed the majority of the Leadership Certificate Program.  I have even actually completed the first pillar.
  • I learned that my highest value is my faith, which all of my other values spout from.  I think that my faith will be a good jumping off point for my Leadership Philosophy Project.
  • I learned that there is a possibility the special guests coming to the presentation of our service project might also be at the presentation of our Leadership Philosophy Projects.
3. My values shape every step that I take in my life especially steps with a focus on leadership.  I work hard to be an example to others of my faith in everything I do which is my number one value.  After that comes compassion which I believe is the result of my faith because I believe in a compassionate and merciful God.  I try as hard as possible to display my faith inspired compassion in all that I do.

4. It is important in complex organizations because it keeps everything in order.  Some large organizations can quickly become disorganized and fall apart if there are not people leading the group and keeping them focused on their purpose.  My fraternity is a great example of this.  We have 150 members which can get pretty chaotic at times.  Thankfully we have a council that keeps things running smoothly and makes sure that the fraternity upholds its values by planning events and keeping us an active part of campus.

I included this picture because I am going on a retreat this weekend at my church.  There I hope to grow in my faith and, also, my ability to lead with renewed strength in my core value.
