This document outlines preparatory activities for participants in the Ninoy & Cory Aquino Leadership Journey youth program. It instructs participants to complete a personal SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis as the first step. Doing a SWOT will help participants understand themselves - their gifts, weaknesses, desires, fears, and life patterns. Self-knowledge is important for growth during the leadership journey program and in life. Participants are asked to email their completed SWOT analysis to the program coordinators.

2. WELCOME!
We have prepared several activities to
prepare you for the program. We don’t want
you to feel uncomfortable when we do the
Leadership Journey.
4. ―TUNING IN‖
For it to make beautiful
music, its strings have to be
‘in tune’.
5. ―TUNING IN‖
If one of the strings is out of
tune, it wouldn’t sound nice,
would it?
6. ―TUNING IN‖
Thus, musicians carefully listen to
each string, putting each in its
place to make beautiful melody
and harmony.
7. YOU AND THE PROGRAM
Treat the program as
your dance partner.
8. YOU AND THE PROGRAM
In order for you to take all the
experience in, you have to
be in tune with it.
9. YOU AND THE PROGRAM
For you to be able to embrace the
messages, you have to practice
with it a couple of times before
you ‘dance’ with it.
10. ―TUNING IN‖
Are you open to ‘tune in’ with the
program?
– With your problems and concerns, with your
burden and successes?
– With yourself and your desires?
– With God?

13. DID YOU LIKE THE SONG?
WHAT DOES THE SONG
SAY TO YOU?
15. YOU DON’T HAVE TO FEEL A
WASTE OF SPACE. YOU DON’T
HAVE TO FEEL LIKE YOU’RE
NOTHING ON THIS PLANET.
16. LIKE A FIREWORK, YOU WILL
IGNITE THIS WORLD.
I GUESS, THE SONG WANTS YOU
TO LOOK WITHIN – TO FIND THAT
DEEPEST DESIRE AND SHARE
THAT TO YOUR WORLD.
18. FOR THIS PROGRAM,
THAT’S WHAT WE
WOULD LIKE YOU TO DO
–
LOOK WITHIN.
19. WE’D LIKE YOU TO HAVE A
BUCKET LIST. LIKE A
BUSINESS ORGANIZATION,
HAVE A PERSONAL
SWOT.

YOUR PERSONAL
SWOT? HARD? WHY?
22. LOOK BACK AT YOUR
SWOT. WHAT ARE YOU
MOST PROUD OF? WHAT
ARE YOU MOST
EMBARRASSED ABOUT?
23. WHAT ARE THE COMMON
THEMES IN YOUR LIFE?
WHAT ARE THE
PATTERNS?
WHY IS THAT SO?
24. THE FIRST STEP IN THIS PROGRAM IS
FOR YOU TO HAVE AN IDEA OF
YOURSELF –
WHO YOU ARE
WHAT YOU CAN DO
WHAT YOU CANNOT DO
YOUR POTENTIAL AND LIMITATIONS
25. IN LIFE’S JOURNEY, EVERY
EXPERIENCE WILL EITHER MAKE
OR BREAK YOU. NOT KNOWING
YOURSELF FULLY WILL HINDER
YOU IN GROWING.
26. THE CHALLENGE FOR US IS TO
CONSTANTLY TRY TO GRAPPLE
WITH OURSELVES—TO KNOW WHO
WE ARE AS WE EXPERIENCE
TRIUMPHS AND FAILURES, SUCCESS
AND HEARTACHES.
