9 INSIGHTS We are going to respond to a series of questions. Every answer you give is absolutely right. No one will question it. Simply respond to what you hear. You may answer any way you want- but you must answer. You cannot cop out by stealing someone else s answer. We will proceed around the circle, starting with a different person each time. If you cannot think of an answer at your turn, say, pass and the leader will come back to you later. Please, speak loudly so that everyone else can hear. Try not to change your answer once you decide what it will be. Do not change to what you think will be a more appropriate answer. We can learn a great deal from facial expressions, hand movements, and body language, what people do not say, or hesitate in saying. We are interested in discovering good things about each other, in finding others real identity and personal strengths/characteristics. We will also discover more about ourselves! We must listen. This is not a debate! We are not here to disagree. We are here to discover each other, as well as, learn a little more about ourselves. Too often we defend our own little worlds without listening to all the hearts beating around us. As each person answers, collect those various answers in your mind and begin developing an idea of each person in the group. If we all do this, perhaps a few of our invisible boundaries will melt and we ll know each other better. 1. What is your favorite food? 2. What is your least favorite food? 3.
