Agility Recovery Six Pillars & SOAR Graphics

Design feedback and revision requests for two key visuals used in the SOAR course series, reviewed during the December 19, 2025 sync with Gus Donelson.

Six Pillars Graphic

Current state: A "gears" graphic where each gear represents one of the six pillars.

Feedback:
- The gears concept is conceptually sound (interconnected pillars working together) but is not visually compelling in its current execution.
- Acceptable for the initial launch; not a blocker.
- A prior version from Asymmetric's designer used icons inside an inner circle to represent each pillar — this was considered stronger but had readability tradeoffs when text was added.

Requested revision:
- Remove the separate "pillar" label text.
- Label each gear directly with the pillar name instead.
- Note: text length may be a constraint depending on gear size.

Decision: Ship the current version for launch; revisit after learner feedback is gathered.

SOAR Graphic (L.E.A.R.N. / Listen–Empathize–Ask–Relate–Navigate)

Current state: A circular graphic representing the SOAR acronym with multiple text elements and supporting detail copy.

Feedback:
- The graphic is strong and aligns well with Agility Recovery's branding (color palette consistent with website and product catalog).
- Designer provided two versions: one with full training text, one without — the cleaner version was preferred.
- The goal is a true standalone visual that can be used as a quick reference or in-training anchor without requiring explanation.

Requested revision:
- Strip down to the SOAR acronym circle with icons only.
- Add the five full-word labels (Listen, Empathize, Ask, Relate, Navigate) on an outer ring around the circle — not inside it.
- Remove all supporting body text from the graphic itself; that content lives in the training materials and resource guide.

Rationale: When learners see this graphic in future contexts (e.g., a coaching prompt, a job aid), it should immediately recall the full framework without needing to re-read definitions.

Owner: Gus to send revision request to the designer.
