Builder #8: Visualization (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 #8? 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:
We All Talk to Ourselves:
  • Studying affirmations allows us to take control of our minds. Let’s review the affirmations exercise — what were some things you noticed when completing this?
  • It forces you to choose the roles you want to play in life
  • What was optimal? What was not optimal?
  • Examples of non optimal affirmations - “I love to sleep in”, “Exercise is a chore”, etc.
  • Examples of optimal affirmations - “Working out makes me feel great”, “The gym is my paradise”, etc.
  • Common mistakes - affirmations in future tense, not present tense, etc.
  • Greatness is a progressive realization — it will take time, but you will get there.
Visualization:
  • All of us can visualize (close your eyes - think about what you had for dinner yesterday). Most only visualize the past, but we can also visualize the future. When is a time you’ve done this?
  • Let’s visualize something in the future together (pick a week, a meeting, etc.) — what do we think is going to happen? Why? How will other react? What will the snowball effect be?
  • Examples of athletes - Kobe visualized winning championships, Malcom Butler visualized Super Bowl winning interception before the play, Boomer could predict whether they were going to win a game or not
Use Cases of Visualization:
  • There were 3 uses cases for visualization — what were they and why are they important?
  • 1st use of visualization - crystalizing what we want
  • 2nd use of visualization - developing the plan
  • 3rd use of visualization - rehearsing plans (i.e visualize a meeting, predict how a conversation will go, 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?
