Group hug

Colleagues,
 
MVP: What makes one training more powerful than another?
 
Today we kick off our third Now + Next cohort.
 
Now + Next is a capacity-building program designed to do three things:

• Connect leaders from the far western counties of North Carolina (WNC)
• Develop leadership skills specific to serving non-profit and governmental organizations in WNC
• Nurture a diverse group of current and future leaders at all organizational levels

 
The program consists of one full-day and three half-day sessions, each spaced two weeks apart. Two weeks ago, we wrapped up cohort 2 and at the end of the session a participant asked if we could do a group hug.
 
I don’t have a leadership lesson for you. Today I just want you to think about:

• When was the last time you attended a training for which you thought a group hug would be a great way to end?
• What elements would need to be present in a training to make you want to hug people in the end?

 
Today’s intention: Reflect on the questions above.

Cheers!

Frederick
