FALL LEADERSHIP


This is one of my favorite ways

of getting to know everyone

here. I think you’ll find it both

entertaining and invigorating.

First, you’re going to break into

groups of two. It’s better if you

find someone you don’t already

know much about, but it’s OK if

you feel more comfortable with

someone you know.

Your job is to find out a few

things about each other. You

might want to take notes, and

be sure to keep it brief and

interesting.

of us.

Now you know why I told

you to keep it brief and

interesting when I asked

you to find out about each

other.

You only have a few

moments, so get started

right away.
