Introduction

Monday Black Diamonds are my favorite. What a great way to kick off the week. The thread was full of excuses, so YHC knew it would be an intimate affair. Oh well, the plan stays the same.

Warm-O-Rama

Welcome, 5CP, Disclaimer were given. We skipped the count since we were only two…

Warm-o-rama on the way to our destination (all done carrying coupon):

  • Mosey
  • Imperial Walkers
  • Mosey
  • Lunge walk & twist

  • Cusack carry

  • Zombie carry (not sure what the official name for this are, but hopefully it is self-explanatory…)

Finally we arrived at the glorious hill.

Game time.

Circle of Trust

How can a HIM lead well with few or no followers?

As great as it is to lead large groups, it would seem a large part of leading is actually internal, and therefore not dependent on the number of followers. In Q Source, we study Foundational Principles, then strive to Get Right and Live Right, all before we even get to Lead Right or Leave Right.

Perhaps the way we lead when we have few or no followers tells us a great deal about our leadership style & potential. I’m still thinking about this one, and look forward to reflecting on it more.

I haven’t led a work out with only two of us before. I felt self-conscious & unsure in ways I haven’t really experienced before. However, I couldn’t have asked for a better partner to join me on such an adventure. Thank you, Blinky, for showing up. I enjoyed our conversation & I appreciate you.
