03 Workshop Intro

pt 3 of 4

This chunk of Fred's Intro is largely short, specific discussions about some of the 20 Workshop life tools and how they collectively and interactively create the heart of the Workshop framework.

- Safety - trusting that we're safe in the Workshop community. Confidentiality is essential and must be comfortably trusted as being true.

-Sharing our successes as well as our struggles, a too-vulnerable shame bind for many men. A boyhood loaded with shaming means that for every success, I'm scared I'll be found out as an imposter of that success.

-Creating opportunities to express our truth in an environment that's accepting of us as opposed to judgemental. Judgementalism is the enemy within and without.
