Character Development implies a program where people are in a continual

state of learning about the way they present themselves to others.

(Responsibility) Character Development further implies there are traits, skills and

relationships essential for one to live their life on purpose. Our goal is not just to

educate people about positive character traits, relationships and skills but to fully

internalize these by becoming more compassionate and respectful people toward

ourselves and others.

Character Development is a process, not one that promotes perfection. We want

people to understand that each of us makes observations from the information

available to us, derives interpretations and forms conclusions. Respect goes beyond

sharing our conclusions to really seeing where each individual’s journey has taken

them in forming their conclusions. It requires active and reflective listening skills.
