A project I am working on is conducting their four-day training, which started first thing Monday. One that had not started, when everyone arrived, was the air conditioning, in July, in North Carolina. Although it was mild outside, approaching mid-80's, it had to have been low-to-mid-90's in the auditorium, with 100+ teachers.As was said, we all had a certain 'glow' about us.
What spoke to me at this experience was two-fold. One, that the heat now entered the vernacular of the content and was a shared, community challenge. Second, how it seemed to be used, at first, for levity, and then it got abused.
Not a big deal, but it reminds me of the repetitive words traps that I either find myself in, or hear frequently. Those include phrases, jargon and simple repetition. When I can catch myself, I think I have done the world a favor, but often I am too late to the game.
