Lesson 11 · Relationship to Reconciliation

Lesson 11

Patience - When it comes to building relationships, how patient are you with yourself and others? How could you improve?

Patience is not my strong suit. I often tell myself to take a breath so that I can slow down my expectations of others.

Awareness - How aware are you of the issues being faced by the Indigenous communities you will be working with? How can you improve?

I would say that I have very basic knowledge of issues faced by Indigenous communities. I can improve by continuing to read, study and educate myself.

Tenacity - How likely are you to "keep going" even if you make a mistake while building relationships? How can you improve?

I would likely feel very badly about making a mistake but that would not stop me from continuing to improve.

Humility - How humble are you? Are you comfortable with learning? Do you leave your ego at home? How can you improve? I can always work on being more humble. I try each day. I love learning. I would say that my ego is mostly left at home but I sure do have times when I struggle with it. I can improve this by continually reminding myself to be humble and kind and try to catch/acknowledge when I'm being judgmental.
