ELP LOVE FOREVER

I found a new perspective of myself and this class has really helped evaluate me as a person and what my calling is in life. I feel like here at SCU, we often go from class to class and we do not really think about our values, but this class kept me sane. ELP has been a beneficial class because it is not something that I learn and then a quarter later I forget, but instead I can take this class as an experience that I can take away and continue to learn more about leadership. These friendships I have made in this class are incredible and I think each person was so special because we all wanted to be in this class!

I look forward to my leadership development because there are so many more groups like this that are available on campus. I signed up for this class not knowing what it was going to be like, so hopefully by joining other groups will be similar to this one! 

GO ELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Tuckman's Stages of Group Development


  1. Coach Carter: Norming- As a team, this shows how all of the members decide to help out one of their fellow team members which shows cohesiveness by trying to avoid harmony.
  2. Aladdin: Adjourning- Originally, Aladdin had his own goals in the first place, but then he decides to take on another task by helping out the Genie become free.
  3. Remember the Titans: Storming- The negativity in the team demonstrates how their is an actual storm in the group but because of this difference they end up resolving it.
  4. Finding Nemo: Performing- This group of fish shows teamwork and the other fish stepping up and being leaders to help Nemo. Evidently, they sacrificed their well-being for Nemo to continue finding his dad.
  5. Hercules: Forming- Hercules shows an emerging leader in which he changes an becomes a strong role model. Also, his adopted parents are supportive in him finding his true calling in him "going the distance."
