Leadership Journeyman Month 1: Sep 2022

Leadership Journeyman Week 1: Sep 2022

Leaders shape our history. Did you ever think of yourself as a leader? Some leaders are famous, but SO many more leaders are not. You can be a leader in your sphere of influence. Or if that sounds intimidating, how about a good example?

One thing that will make you a better leader, or example, is studying great leaders of the past, and being inspired to be better. So that's our goal this year in Leadership Journeyman.

 

Study/Learn

1.Watch this Video about John and Katherine Carver, and be prepared to discuss how they showed leadership.

2. Take a few minutes to take this quiz on the Symbols of America. Do your best! If you want to look up the answers, feel free. Or can just give it your best shot and see what you know without any help. Vanbucks for correct answers!

3. Choose 1 person (or group of people) who lived sometime between 1450-1700 AD, and study them. You may do this assignment with your siblings if you choose. (So choose 1 person to study together). Or you can do it individually.

This person can be:

*A spiritual leader

*A political leader

*An ancestor

*Literally anyone you find inspiring

Add your person to this doc.

Things to discover and INCLUDE in your presentation (video).

*How did they live Law 1: Love God, Establish Your Divine Center

OR

*How did they live a mission driven life?

OR

*How did they help in the cause of Freedom?

OR

*How did they influence those around them for good?

While dates and timelines have their place, in this case, they are not interesting! (Aside from being able to put the person into a particular timeframe). Include what you discovered and tell a good story!  Inspire us!

Know/Understand

1. Make a video presentation about your chosen person.  Keep it between 2-4 minutes, and make it interesting! If you are working with a sibling, you only need 1 video that you work on together.

Upload it to our YouTube Channel.  Instructions are HERE. You'll have to scroll down a little.  If you have a YouTube Channel of your own, you can upload there as well.  As long as you're able to access it and cast in during journeyman.

Please let me know if you run into any problems.

Become/Serve

A big part of leadership is Service. Go out of your way to serve someone this week, and write about your service in your journal. Write about how it made you feel.
