In the Boat!

I just came back from an awesome team building activity for the FCHS Peer Counselors. In one of the activities the peer counselors were asked to get on a platform that resembled a boat that rocked very easily. The goal - to silently get all 22 members on the boat. No words were to be spoken. The group was successful. After the event - words like trust, commitment, and partnering were used to describe the experience. This group is making a difference and living out an example of the possibility of the community. As with any team there will be times of difficulty but they have pledged to remind each other of this experience with three simple words...in the boat. Like the words to a song, emotions suddenly well up as our mind links words with an experience. What core words can help you, your group, or your team refocus and reconnect with a positive experience? In the boat...I like it!
