Or if you have peanut allergies, I've got peanut butter up here. You're not gonna be forced to touch the peanut butter. um i just want to make sure that you're okay being in proximity to said peanut butter or if it would be better if you relocate it or if i need to relocate the peanut butter out of it

Thank you. We're not trying to take you out before your time, Paul. Quick note for everybody. You'll see the boxes stacked up here. They have site names on them. I think you guys are aware. These are the goodie bags for the staff at your site. So please make sure that you take yours. And also those signs over there with the QR code for Tell Us More. Make sure you take the QR code for your site so you can put that up so people can scan that at your sites. Did I miss anything there, Abby? Good. Okay. All right. Let's jump into the connection before content. One of the most important jobs that we have is providing good information, right? Good communication, good information to each other and good information to the public.

Jeremy 4:08

but it's only as good as the message that you send out and we have to be careful about assumptions that get made when our message is sent out right so you have to think about what you're saying when you say it so today we're going to do a little exercise that's talking about communication and the job is simple i'm going to Have you guys break up into roughly four groups, specific numbers aren't important, doesn't really matter, all right? Each group is going to write a set of instructions of how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, okay? Now raise your hand if you have done this exercise before, all right? So I expect really great results coming out of this, all right? So I'm going to give you about four minutes to write your instructions with your group.

Jeremy 4:57

Now, we're going to have group one go after that. They're going to read their instructions aloud, and I'm going to follow their instructions to make the sandwich. Hopefully we come up with a great peanut butter and jelly sandwich right out of the gate. If we don't, okay, while that's going on, groups two, three, and four, you guys can continue adding to your instructions to make them better. So group one, you guys are in a bit of a bind, right? Short time. You got Craig, who's a pressure player.
