We started at 7:00 this morning in the meeting room with Matt. We are grateful for a meeting room on the same campus as where we’re staying, and we have the place to ourselves! Matt taught us about the skills necessary for healthy teams, such as trust, communication, and leadership. The tool he teaches uses the DISC assessment, which gives us a common vocabulary and helps us understand each other better. It also gives us material for ongoing conversations with each other.
We broke several times for breaks, snacks, and brunch, and were finished at 4:30 so Matt could go back to his home in NYC tonight yet.
Some of the men grilled chicken for supper, and several ladies worked together to make the rest of supper. After supper, Patrick led the group in dreaming about the kind of world we long for, and what we can do to reach those dreams.
After debriefing and dishes, teams worked together to prepare their projects for tomorrow. It was a restful evening of preparation and conversation.
