Module Six Video Reflection President Paul LeBlanc, Amelia Manning, Jodi Lamothe, Josh Garrin, and Jonathan Wesley spoke about their motivation to instigate change - the “why” behind their actions and efforts (SNHU, 2021). Throughout each individual account of “why”, a common theme arose from the SNHU leadership group.

To do this, I hold a no-judgement ideology, meaning individuals are not defined by their outward appearance or their actions. As my “why” is to help individuals, my beliefs, attitudes, and values must adopt a unbiased semblance. To be effectively empathetic, an open mind is 2
