  • AAR: Trust is built after taking a risk and finding it’s safe.

    Today we took a risk in trying the workout; we risk when we share uncomfortable things with others. And when we find we can do the workout, when we find that others treat our brokenness with compassion and respect, then trust is built. In your groups, in your teams, look to recognize when someone is taking a risk with you and treat that with respect. Show them that they are safe with you, and you will build trust.

  • AAR: Leadership is a skill that requires practice
