Growth Model: Bonding (Connection), Boundaries, Integrating the Good & Bad, Responsibility
"We are men, we don't need connection." Some believe this statement. The choice is connection or isolation. Are you aware of how connecting with others affected/affects (past & present) you as a human? Miles and Redlight will discuss the research behind connection and the need for men to engage with others regularly. How does a lack of connection impact you as a young child & in leadership roles? We will discuss how men attempt to isolate themselves by being lone rangers, self-sufficient, rescuers, or through hostility. In particular, we in F3 should be leaders of connection and help others grow and develop in these areas. A shieldlock can be a gymnasium where we practice connection so it will impact our other relationships. You may find that you identify with the self-sufficient isolator to avoid connection and determine that may be a good target/goal for your shieldlock to hold you accountable.
