HW #5

Very interesting exercises — most of which I can’t work into the schedule right now. But I have completed part of it and here it is:

Homework:

●      Ask!

○      Send out an email to five friends who know you well and ask them what comes to mind when they think of you

○      Send out an email to five acquaintances and ask them what comes to mind when they think of you

○      Send out an email to your newsletter list and ask them what comes to mind when they think of you

○      Look at Amazon reviews

○      Ask yourself

■      I’m planning to do these after the class is over. I’m running out of time.

●      What are your favorite movies?

○      Frequency

○      Serenity (Firefly)

○      Star Wars

○      Raiders of the Lost Ark

○      Star Trek (Reboot with Chris Pine)

○      Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

■      What theme do you see running through all of them?

■      Second Chances

■      Ordinary people who, under pressure, achieve great things.

●      Cut out a picture of your one tribe member (name him or her!) & put it on your monitor as a reminder of who you serve.

○      Still thinking about who this might be.

●      Send one encouraging email this week to your list (give yourself permission to be YOU, with your voice).

○      In the past, I have sent out a short story about something that happened lately and a list of newsletter swaps.

○      After going through this course, I plan to add a funny quote, and a thinking quote (like, “Don’t sweat the small stuff; and it’s all small stuff.”).

●      Post a subject you’re thinking of engaging with your tribe on to the group and get feedback.

○      Favorite movies.

●      Do research and follow someone who does this kind of shepherding well. Study what they do this week. Tell us all about it.

○      Can’t get to this during this time – saving it for later.
