F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

THA-THANG:

MARY:
Time for a little Mary at the End.  Participants called out who would give the next exercise.  Did Box cutters, LBCs, and Basilisks

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Boxcutter also attended but doesn’t have tag yet
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“My actions are my only true belonging.  I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.  My actions are the ground on which I stand.”  Ran across this quote.  Word addressed evaluating not what you feel you have done, but to look at what actions you have taken.  Thinking about something can often feel as real as taking the action itself.  So look back on what actions you have taken, not how much you feel you have done based on what you have been thinking about.  Ocho made the point that from this perspective, prayer is an action.
MOLESKIN:
If a similar workout is redone, recommend reducing the numbers of Clean and Press to 10, Squat jumps to 15, and all 200’s to 100 or 150.  Two reasons.  First, the clean and press and squat jump winded people very fast and often they seemed to make this modification on their own.  Second, the workout was running long so had to have folks move through early.  Reduced counts would have it run closer to the expected time.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Q101 this weekend 8/19. Hosted at The Project but open to all F3 Knoxville

A retreat is coming up this fall at Doe River Gorge.  Spots are open.  Cost is $110.

Ultimate Frisbee OTB on Wednesday (8/16) went well.  Plan is to shift it to Saturdays, but since Q101 is next week, it will be on Wednesday again.

Trust is built by Transparency, Empathy, and Consistency.
Transparency – When communication decreases, uncertainty increases. Better to disappoint with a hard truth than to deceive with a lie.
Empathy – Talk less, listen more. Your team will never care about your mission if you don’t care about your team.
Consistency – It’s not what you do occasionally that matters, but what you do consistently.
To earn trust, you have to give trust.
The best way to figure out if you can trust someone is to trust them.
You may be disappointed if you trust too much, but you will always be limited if you don’t trust enough.

Societal trust is as low as it has ever been. People default to distrust. Thus, we must be more intentional about building it. Go first in trust. Be transparent about your weaknesses. And remember that the three most important ingredients for success are consistency, consistency, and consistency.
