Reframing the Word Fear
Darryl puts one word on the screen and asks the room for the first word that comes to mind. Then people share it with the person next to them.
Next comes the real question. Is your word rooted in something positive or something negative? Most people think of fear as all bad. This short activity helps the room see that fear also has a job, and that it can push us to grow.

0:00 When you see that word right there on the screen, I want you to really quickly think about the first word that comes to your mind. All right, now make sure it's clean. Then I want you to share it with the person next to you. All right, so we got that word. Bring it back.
0:16 So now that we have that word, I'm going to ask you this. With that word, is that word rooted in something positive, or is it rooted in something negative? Positive could be growth. Negative might be death. It could be being challenged in some way. Now I'm going to ask each group separately, and I'll start with this. By a show of hands, how many of you, your word was rooted in something positive?
0:44 When we think about fear, we often think of the negative things that come along with it, but fear allows us to do so many things, because we know that the root of fear is to keep us alive. How many of you want to stay alive? All right, if you don't, that's a different presentation.
