The foundation for a successful Thriving Plan includes values clarification from our personal leadership framework. Our app leads participants through this process. The entire Thriving Plan includes values clarification, personal vision development, participants' personal statements of goals, development of skills, and prioritized actions to reach their goals.
Supportive Accountability: The target dates for the completion of actions are input by participants within the app. Mentors can support the participant's completion of actions.
When the participants begin to develop their own Thriving Plans, they create a vision for their future and the writing of two goals. Their personal vision statement is their guide toward a successful future six months from now. This vision statement gives the direction necessary to make important life decisions. Once they complete their personal vision statement, they are ready to write two goals. Personal goals are targets to help them reach their dream. An example of a personal goal is, “I want to walk across the stage at graduation".
Skills: Participants are guided toward identifying the skills they will need to achieve their goals. Our leadership framework includes skills that are related to participant selected values and beliefs. They will Identify and prioritize skills that they will need to reach their goals.
Actions: They will identify prioritized actions to help them reach their personal goals. An example would be, “I will complete all required work for graduation.” Once they have identified their prioritized actions, it’s time to identify short-term steps to support their prioritized action. An example would be, “I will meet with my counselor by September 9. Notice that the short-term steps include a time frame. It’s time to share with a mentor or a friend. The plan can be shared between the participant and the mentor.
