Learning Journal #4
due Sunday, May 30, 2021
Part of this week’s course learning was screening the film, Saving Mr. Banks (2013). Both the guided reflection and the Case Study paper assigned this week invites you to think more deeply and critically on the powerful themes throughout the movie – empathy, forgiveness, patience, deep listening among others. The week’s learning journal invites you to consider the film and the assigned readings through a lens of “change”. How has your thinking changed so far in this course? How and why did you see change in some of the characters of the film? How might you want to change your thinking or actions in your leadership based on what you have observed and read so far?
