Builder #6: The Trained Eye (Meeting Agenda)

This meeting agenda is organized into 3 parts. As the facilitator, you can choose to use 1, 2 or all 3 parts of this agenda based on the time you want to allocate and what you want to accomplish with the group.

  • Golden Nuggets (builds team cohesion)
  • Topical Conversations (reinforces specific concepts)
  • Application (drives changes in behavior)

Part 1 - Golden Nuggets

What were your golden nuggets from our last conversation? (Go around the room, each person picks the next to share.) What were your golden nuggets from listening to Builder #6? They could be concepts or takeaways, relevant stories or experiences — from your life or someone else’s. (As people share golden nuggets) Do any examples or experiences of that come to mind?

Part 2 - Topical Conversations

One of the topics discussed was _______. What were your thoughts about this? What examples of this principle in action come to mind?

Topics:
Life is Cause + Effect:
  • Everything around us is a function of cause and effect — therefore, we can study it. What or who can we study to become great at something?
  • We don’t have to reinvent the wheel — when someone is getting a result we want, we can study the wheel and duplicate their results.
  • We don’t have to fear that we might not succeed, because results are not born to some and not others — it’s cause and effect.
Fear of Thinking Big:
  • People get afraid to think big — but there’s nothing to be afraid of, because what we envision in our inner world, we have the power to create in our outer world.
  • When was a time you set a goal, then achieved it?
Fear + Success:
  • Successful people are not void of fear; they have fear and run at it because they know behind each unknown is the opportunity for them to grow and get stronger — by moving from the familiar into the unfamiliar. What do you feel fear about right now that you want to move through?
  • Fear is always a bigger deal in your head - often disappears once you take action
Commonalities of Successful People:
  • Once your eye is trained, we begin to see these principles everywhere. Where have you seen them in people that are successful?
  • In your career
  • In your personal life
  • In the news or media
  • In athletics, business, history, etc.

Part 3 - Application

  • How do the concepts discussed in this builder apply to what we do as a team?
  • How do the concepts discussed in this builder apply to your individual roles?
