Introduction

The Arrow experience can be likened to a section of railway track. The rails represent the guided reading and coaching which run in parallel through the entire program. The residentials act as the sleepers, spaced throughout the program, bearing the greatest part of the cognitive input and providing a connection between the guided reading and coaching. The gravel in between might be easily overlooked but it symbolizes the opportunity for action-reflection, which is where this journal comes in.

The ability to reflect as part of a learning process is an invaluable skill that will assist you in your learning journey. Some people love the opportunity for unstructured reflection and can use their observations to draw insightful conclusions about what they are learning and about how they will use this in their leadership practice. Others may benefit from a more structured approach to reflection. This journal will provide you with opportunity for both structured and unstructured reflection.

Activities relating to each module of Arrow Leadership are included in this journal. Completion of these activities will assist you to apply your learning to your ministry and leadership practices. This journal is to be shared your coach and should form the basis of some of your coaching discussions.

Your Coach

During Arrow, you will have the opportunity to meet with a coach on a regular basis. This coaching aims to help you integrate all you are learning through the Arrow Leadership Program into the whole of your life. There are four key objectives for Arrow coaching:

1. Ensuring participants see the links between their world and what they are learning.

2. Helping participants evaluate the impact of what they are learning on their behaviour

3. Encouraging the formation of development plans based on this learning, with a bias toward their strengths

4. Reviewing progress of the implementation of those development plans.

The Arrow coach will come alongside you as a participant for the duration of the program (a little over 21 months), creating a relationship of accountability in which the coach promotes reflection and self-awareness.

In the learning cycle, there are four key elements as shown in this diagram. The Arrow coach will provide a sounding board for the participant, mainly in the areas of reflection and insight (This is different from a skills based coach who would give input and ideas on particular skill areas).

The Arrow coach will help you to develop lifelong skills in self-awareness and development, leaving him or her with a set of disciplines that will help you throughout your life and that you can pass on to others.

Instructions

This journal is designed for regular reflection and you are expected to record your reflections on a regular basis (e.g. once each week). You also may wish to record your own unstructured thoughts about this learning program.
