Introduction

We decided to switch up the format of the Q Source WOW workouts and I was excited to be the first to lead under the new format. The plan involved minimal discussion up front, but integrated an approach that hopefully got the point across that was discussed during COT.

Circle of Trust

Today’s beatdown was a Q Source Workout of the Week focused on Q Point 2.3 – Missionality. I gave a brief description of what Q Source is and then hit the key points of Missionality:

  • High Impact Zone – the place of highest productivity where a person’s forcible contact has the strongest effect; a person must continually Practice to improve their skill
  • Preparedness, getting ready for the expected while being ready for the unexpected, is one aspect of Practice
  • Dolphin – represents each man’s unique gift, the thing he does better than anything else and better than most other people can do it
  • Daffodil – represents the people-category that a man is born to Serve with his Dolphin

By letting the PAX choose their movements during each Thang, I let them stay in their High Impact Zone. But I also added in Preparedness by enforcing the movements they elected not to do.

Naked Man Moleskin

Several newer PAX were in attendance this morning, and it was great to see them accelerate. The format of this beatdown let everyone push at their own pace while also being held accountable yet motivated by the rest of the group.
