In principle, when we are part of a group we are apt to expect the group or other members of the group to do things on our behalf. When faced with a problem to be solved or a task to be done we might think, “someone else will take care of it.” This seems different from being independent where every problem and every task is “my responsibility.” Group belonging creates the illusion of group responsibility. But it is an illusion. Still, it is “my responsibility.”
When group members give up responsibility to the group as a whole, the group doesn’t get anything done.
We can spend a lot of time and energy wishing our group was different, complaining about our group, questioning other group members about their ways. But there is only one question that leads to real change: “What am I going to do about it?”
Practical Tip: Don’t just talk about how things should change. BE the change that you want for your group, for your world. Don’t just wish that problems were solved and tasks were done. Do things.

Hi Andy,
The tricky part about sharing video via Zoom is the sound. It’s rarely good enough quality.
Here’s a link to the Zoom website with specifics if you want.

Thanks for reaching out, Andy.
Great to hear from you!
Hi Crsig. I attended your Zoom seminar. I’m wondering if you could share with me how to show a video from my screen. I was on a call tonight for Earth Day and we wound up giving participants the link to my video. Disappointed not to show it. Thanks.
