S1 E38 If an adult knows nothing about being a team member, did the lacking begin in school?

Have you been in an online course, put in the Breakout Room and someone hijacks the conversation? Actually, it isn't a conversation because it's one person talking and asking for help on her/his needs? Is there an equanimity within the people connected? Is there generosity? Is there respect and honour for the opinions, ideas, searching of all?

If you've found all these elements, please feel you've won the lottery!! If you haven't, it's probably simply because you and the rest did not learn team building techniques when you were younger. Just imagine a world in which groups of adults or students get together and they have their own best interests at heart but they also have the patience and intention to let those around them to feel heard, seen and honoured. Would that not be a fabulous place to be?

In this episode we explore the importance of connection - to ourselves and to others, and how that connection needs to be practiced within the classroom so that it later leaves the learning environment and becomes second nature in adulthood.

Join us for a quick yet inclusive consideration of team building and connection, and click here for a simple and effective activity to energetically unite your group. Let me know how you feel when you're finished participating!
