Personal Growth and Agile Planning: Mastering the D.P.A.R. Method
from Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher · host Maurice Harker
In this section of the recording, Maurice Harker, Director of Life Changing Services, continues to explain the process of using the Agile planning tool and personal growth through D.A.R. (Discover, Act, Reflect) sessions. Here's a summary: Skipping Menu Items: Maurice advises listeners to skip sections of the menu that are not applicable to their current needs. This allows for a more personalized and efficient approach to personal growth planning. Create a List of Potential Growth Areas: Maurice acknowledges that some people may find it challenging to identify additional growth areas in their lives. They suggest brainstorming and making a list of potential areas for improvement. Customization: Maurice encourages listeners to make the planning tool their own by customizing it to suit their style and preferences. They demonstrate how to edit and modify the document to align with individual needs. Evaluation: Maurice discusses the importance of evaluating one's current spiritual, personal, and professional standing. They share a personal example of recognizing an imbalance between work and family life. Reflect and Discover: Maurice emphasizes the significance of starting the D.A.R. process with reflection. They recommend writing up a D.A.R. session alone with God and avoiding external influences, even from spouses. Sharing with Spouse: While Maurice advises against collaborative D.A.R. sessions initially, they encourage sharing the progress and plans with one's spouse at a later stage. This practice can help improve psychological intimacy within the relationship. Involving Children: Maurice suggests involving children in the D.A.R. process, sharing personal plans with them, and encouraging them to participate. This can be a way to bond with teenagers and teach them about personal growth. Overall, Maurice emphasizes the importance of making the Agile planning tool and D.A.R. sessions a personal and adaptable process to facilitate effective personal growth and relationship-building.
