Why this picture?

Here you see a cartoonish drawing of a person crowd surfing. While this act does not require complete or particularly loving trust, I've always thought it one of the most true forms of putting your trust in others.You are launching yourself, trusting that people whom you know you have exactly 1 thing in common with will catch you. No questions asked.

Video Resources

Video 1 - https://youtu.be/2AuZeZd4Z_c?si=OmnZZaqcvtlPQTa6 In this video you see a very intense trust building game. I've never seen anything quite like this exercise, but I think it is definitely a way to bond people for life. Having someone's weight literally held up by your and your team's hands is something I would imagine it's not the most easy to forget.Video 2 - https://youtu.be/08RU6oiFTdg?si=EkFIbysSFX3sYncN In this video Simon Sinek talks about struggles with trusting people as well as overcoming this. The conversation goes over effects of environment and how to foster a trusting work environment.Video 3 - https://youtu.be/fUXdrl9ch_Q?si=pEOS7XFKdidhPQvi This video is a super cute collection of animated shorts and commercials showcasing good and bad teamwork. In the first short, there is little teamwork and lack of inclusion. In both shorts after, you see these skills improve greatly so that the team/family may profit.
