Leading

Why do people come? To do something they're afraid of, and that in a group. Why? Because they would be alone otherwise. So let's help them succeed! But at the same time be aware that every person is different.

Meetup structure

Wait for a few minutes to everyone to arrive. You can already hand out the challenges sheet.
Introduce yourself
Explain the core idea
- We're training courage
- Comfort Zone - Learning Zone - Panic Zone
Explain important things
- Outcome independent. It's not about how the other person reacts (that we can't control), but that you went through your fear.
- Respect the personal space of others!
- Be aware thaat you're communicating with other peole and respect them.
- Don't approach anyone from the front, that's scary. Better from the side. They shall easily be able to escape you if they don't feel like they want to talk to you.
Let them find challenges
