STUDENT LEADERS CIRCLE @ STARBUCKS

From Cindy, our Student Support Program manager: “Every week, student leaders come together for a session called as ‘Leaders Circle.’ This collaborative space is designed to facilitate personal growth and development through shared insights and experiences. The recent session, titled ‘What’s Inside the Circle?’ focused on the importance of understanding personal values, Young Focus organizational values, and aligning them with behavior and action.
Using the parts of a circle as a metaphor, we explored various dimensions of leadership and personal development:
1. The Center represents the essence of a leader—core values, beliefs, and principles.
2. The Diameter symbolizes the need for a leader's actions and decisions to consistently reflect these values.
3. The Radius illustrates a leader’s growth, highlighting how they expand their capabilities, understanding, and impact.
4. The Circumference signifies the reach of a servant leader—the influence they have on others and the relationships they cultivate.
5. The Arc represents the navigation of interactions; staying true to one’s values ensures the arc remains aligned with the circle’s shape.

Bel shared, ‘It’s essential to know yourself and the values you hold because they guide your decisions and interactions with others. My actions must align with my values.’ Jess added, ‘I learned a lot of things I can use as a leader, especially the importance of personal values, and at the same time, to dig deep into the values of Young Focus. I also realized how important it is to reflect on my actions, especially regarding the influence I have on the people around me.’

A special thanks to Starbucks Community Store Starbucks Philippines for providing us with a wonderful space, coffee, and snacks for this session! Your support not only creates a welcoming environment, but also contributes to building a stronger community where every young leader can thrive.” ... See MoreSee Less
