What are the patterns that have defined you (affirming and depleting)?

Affirming: Hard Working and Committed, Strong Goals Intellectual, Independent, Empathetic and Supportive
Depleting: Perfectionist Tendencies, Emotional Distance, Fear of Letting People Down, High Standards, Concerned with Others Perceptions

Where are you now in your awareness?

This process, particularly our work in Intensive 2, has helped me to see the gaps between my awareness and the work I still need to do. While I am
generally clear on my patterns, working on them with others has shown me just how deep those patterns go and how interconnected they are. Working
on my patterns through the feedback of others has been enlightening and I am eager to continue that journey. I will say that I am aware of these
patterns, but understand that there is much more to uncover in each before I truly make progress on their root cause. I do believe that the goals outlined
here will help me make progress on this work.

Personal Development
Intentionally strengthen key
relationships (TJ and Abi)
through emotional
expression and
connection.
I will engage in more regular emotional expression,
with the goal of increasing my capacity for sharing
my emotions clearly and authentically.
I will practice following up my analytical thinking and
processing with emotional check-ins to understand
how I am being received.
My progress on each of these three
components of emotional expression will be
measured through a documentation from Abi
and TJ before each intensive sharing the
progress they have seen me make and
providing feedback for continued
development. This documentation will either
be shared via my ePortfolio or in person with
the learning group, depending on content.

MSOD Strategic Learning Contract
I will employ strategies of inquiry and empathetic
listening to ensure that I am not only developing my
ability to share my own emotions, but discuss and
support the emotions of others.
I will plan and complete an outdoor activity once a
month. This will support my renewed interest in
engaging with, and advocating for our natural world
at a time when it is becoming increasingly
vulnerable.
I will intentionally capture and reflect on those
experiences each month, in a personal and creative
way that helps me connect to the experience more
deeply.
Identify consistent times when I can do a home
practice regularly and try to achieve a cadence in my practice, completing at least 4 sessions a
practice.
Establish a goal for my practice that I can work on
my own to better develop my expanding awareness
of the practice and try new things.

work experience, and what I have learned
from that process. I will share this via my

behaviors. I will identify two specific
behaviors I want to change in order to provide
more effective feedback. This reflection will
be shared via my ePortfolio/google doc.

Based on my assessment, I will take the specific
behaviors I identified and seek to change them in my
regular interactions at work. I will gauge my
improvement by asking specific people at work to
support and observe my behaviors.
I will gather feedback on these specific
behaviors from my direct manager during our
regular 1:1s between each intensive.
I will share and celebrate at least one
successful example where I have given
professional feedback with my Learning
Group each intensive.

I will use our agreed-upon feedback sessions in our
Learning Group to further develop my feedback skills
and identify additional behaviors in which I could
improve.
I will ask my Learning Group members to
