Introduction
It was a cool morning to get a good EC run in with a few strong F3 men. The mummble chatter was high anytime you are on an EC with the 2nd F Q Flo. Before warm-a-rama conversations around a poker tournament sparked up which Cinderella immediately commented “I am not a professional” which none of us were buying that bluff.
After some greetings we got to work

- 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 really 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.
