#8: Laurie Frank - (35+) Focused Episode: "A Call to Action" Figuring out what social connection means and what it looks like in times of physical distancing (and beyond).

In this 'Focused Episode' Laurie and Chris talk about the important topic of community building during "social distancing" (what Laurie believes should be referred to as "physical distancing") and beyond, into the 'new' normal. Here are some vital questions and considerations (and concerns) explored during this episode: "We are pulling away right now...", how can we help each other pull together? "We have to figure out what social connection means in a time of physical distancing...what can we do to build community at this time?""Mindset is important, we must move to a space of, "What is possible?! versus, "This is impossible!"  "We have to think deeply about the culture, the essence of community building - whatever it is that makes what we do happen, in a different way." "This is both a sprint and a marathon!" We need to take immediate action that informs and shapes future outcomes in relation to building and sustaining strong communities in every context.Find all Show Notes and Episodes HEREThis podcast is another facet in a network of resources being developed in an ongoing effort to help team builders, all over the world, learn and grow:OnTeamBuilding Blog - Conversations about a variety of team building topicsAsk Michelle & Chris About Team Building - Podcast for Team BuildersFUNdoing - Activity Resources for Team Builders (Blog, Store, Trainings)FUNdoing Fridays - Bi-monthly email of activities (sign up form at this page)TeamBuilderPowerUps - A growing online school of resources for team buildersYoungTeamBuilders - The voices of new team builders
