Q3.5-Articulation

Leave a comment

Link to text: https://f3nation.com/articulation

The Q Source Statement: “Articulation is the second of the four Leadership Skills. It is the act of describing Vision to others so they can understand it.”

The 3 Core Spurs (Takeaways):

  1. Every person can articulate, but most choose not to.
  2. Articulation is a skill that improves with practice.
  3. Articulation is about understanding, not liking.

Principle 1: Men often keep their visions locked in their heads due to fear of failure, lack of confidence, or pure laziness.

Principle 2: Articulation is not a genetic gift reserved for charismatic orators; it is a leadership muscle that must be broken down and rebuilt through deliberate practice.

Principle 3: Articulation is successful when your people comprehend the destination, even if they dislike the discomfort required to get there. Persuasion and buy-in come next, but clarity must come first.

Socratic: Where in your daily Concentrica (marriage, parenting, work) have you failed to practice clear communication, resulting in alignment drift?

Impossible Island Hopping

Leave a comment

WARMUP: moseyed with some stops along the way. No feedback on the cadence calling. The PIP I was on was in full effect. Finished with Bonnie Blairs X 10.
THE THANG: In honor of The Pirate, a 4 corners, 20 reps at each corner. Merkins, Derkins, Heels to Heaven, and Big Boys.

Mosey and Sprints 2X to length of the parking lot changing pace at every island. Another idea taken from Pirate.

Picked two islands to do an Impossible Mile:
First Lap: Burpee Broad Jumps
Second Lap: Lunge Walk
Third Lap: Bear Crawl
Fourth Lap: Mosey.

Everyone LOVED the Impossible Mile.

Truly an honor to GET TO share doing difficult things with these men.

MARY: some did, some not so much.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Stuff the Bus, LaGrama, Bethel, Bourbon, Cannoli Run!
COT: Lifting up all those going through life’s beatdowns and enjoying the time when the storms pass.
