LEAP is the D39C all-team summer onboarding retreat. Based off of Steve Farber’s The Radical LEAP, each part of the onboarding focuses on:
-
Cultivate Love: “Do what you love in service of people who love what you do.”
-
Generate Energy: “Generate more energy when you walk into a room than when you walk out of it.”
-
Inspire Audacity: “How are you going to change the world?”
-
Provide Proof: “Prove yourself through significant, observable, daily action. Do what you say you will do.”
Fun fact: These are also the names of our Welcome Center collaboration spaces:) This year, we layered on Susie Wise’s Design for Belonging and let the theme of belonging guide our onboarding and our theme for this school year. The LEAP retreat is an opportunity to build community, revisit our mission, ground ourselves in the amazing work that happens across our campus, and get inspired to begin a new school year.
