Introduction
It was a wet morning as I rolled up on the AO to scout the area for possible modifications pending bad weather. Last night was a reminder of how important the Site Q is as Napster reached out to me to inform me of possible lightning tomorrow & where we would need to go pending the weather. Great insight & support from the Site Q!!

Circle of Trust
Other Stuff:
- Count A Rama (go around in the circle with each guy counting off: 1,2,3,4,etc ending with you as the last #)
- Announcements (site Q leads any announcements that the men at the workout need to be aware of)
- FNG (friendly new guy) naming: have any new guys come to the middle & tell you what they do for a living, age, anything about their family, job, hobbies, funny stories. Then give them a cool F3 name (which should not be cool)!!
- Name A Rama, video this (everyone goes around the circle saying their hospital name, age, & F3 name)
Naked Man Moleskin
CoT:
- Led in a peer rotating fashion. Why is this core principle #4?? It directly ties to the mission “invigorating male community leadership”. Our mission cannot be fulfilled if men do not step up to “Lead Right” according to principle #4. Leadership is EVOLUTIONARY not revolutionary. We are not recreating leadership principles b/c leadership principles remain the same since the beginning of time however what we are doing is sharpening our leadership blade. You will mess up, it will not be perfect, but you will learn. This is how we invigorate male community leadership. Through strong preparedness & a mind set of “win in charge, take charge” you cannot fail, only learn. Who has Q’d less than 5 times. Do you feel more confident? Can I count on you to get on the Q sheet in the next 21 days?
- If compelled, you can end with a prayer asking for any prayer intentions from the men.
Coffeteria:
- As mentioned, the 2nd F (fellowship) is the glue. Have an option for guys to go grab coffee somewhere after or even better have someone volunteer to bring coffee on site so guys will stick around for a quick conversation.
