Circle of Courage Answers

Hello Everyone, I hope you had a good weekend. I went to Baltimore to see my parents and brothers. It was nice.

So what are the answers to the quiz?

If you guessed:

Generosity
Mastery
Belonging
Independence

you are right!

I use this philosophy in my new staff and volunteer training. I ask them to think of a person or event or activity or something from their teen years that helped them to become the person they are today.

Then I ask them to talk about it and place it (they have written it down on a post-it note) onto the circle of courage that I have on the wall. They choose which need was met, although often there is overlap.

For example, some people have a club, team, scouts, youth group or band or some kind of group they belonged to. It would fulfil the belonging need, but it could also fill the mastery or generosity need.

My story that I told you of how one of my 10th grade teachers organized a group of us to go tutor kids in the Baltimore inner city every Saturday morning is an example of meeting the need for generosity for me. It really changed me in a way that lectures would never have done.

What would be the answer to that question for you? What influenced you to be the positive caring person you are today?
