Just go with the flow!

By Hero's Journey Academy

Session 1, Week 3, 2022

Finally the eagles can let out a sigh of relief having settled into their daily routines. The past two weeks were quite trying as eagles old and new got acclimated to their hero’s journey. The studio switch is finally complete and the eagles can spread their wings and fly.

This week eagles focused on what they need to find their flow. Finding flow refers to the process of feeling fully focused, involved and enjoying an activity. Flow is important to a hero’s journey because it can help you discover gifts you can use to serve others with a smile; an important first step towards a calling.

Trust Walk

Here at Active Leadership Academy we are all on our own heroes journey but share space and promises together! We rely on each other for information and feedback about whether or not we are on the right track.

Practice Makes Perfect

This week the little eagles have been learning about the importance of teamwork in action! What can we achieve if we can all work together? Check out their style as they recreate letters of the alphabet! What letter did they complete this week?

Setting yourself up for success!

Setting appropriate goals gives you independence and ownership of your learning. Eagles set S.M.A.R.T. goals which are specific, measurable, achievable, and timely. This tool can be used in everyday life but it is especially used during core skills time. Setting S.M.A.R.T goals allows you to break up big goals into small steps you can do every day or each week.
