Understanding the Captain and Poet:

The Captain: The Captain is the part of us that ventures out into the world, navigates challenges, sets goals, makes decisions, and takes us on new adventures.

The Poet: The Poet embodies everything that stirs deep inside of us – our emotions, imagination, values, aspirations, dreams, and more.

Unique in Each of Us: Everyone’s Captain and Poet are unique, with key traits that define us. For example, your Captain might be bold, and your Poet might be creative. They adapt and show up differently across various contexts like school, work, and home, evolving as we grow.

Better Together: In partnership, the Captain and Poet help us to be our best, most authentic selves. The Captain encourages the Poet to be expressive and chase dreams, while the Poet reminds the Captain of what is most important, blending awareness with action and vision with strategy.
