WEBVTT

00:01.340 --> 00:03.750
So Champion johnson , are , are people

00:03.750 --> 00:05.861
out there are participants in our TPS

00:05.861 --> 00:07.917
have kind of drawn a picture of what

00:07.917 --> 00:10.139
community looks like in the workplace ,

00:10.139 --> 00:12.361
and so what we're going to have them do

00:12.361 --> 00:14.083
after this is kind of draw the

00:14.083 --> 00:16.083
obstacles of the community in their

00:16.083 --> 00:18.306
workplace , and I'd like to give us two

00:18.306 --> 00:20.472
of them , One of them is just the idea

00:20.472 --> 00:22.583
of being disconnected and they really

00:22.583 --> 00:24.750
they really are tied in together , but

00:24.750 --> 00:26.972
disconnected , That idea of apathy , uh

00:26.972 --> 00:29.194
no shared experiences , that person who

00:29.194 --> 00:31.194
comes in like , okay , I'm gonna in

00:31.194 --> 00:33.250
gonna do my job , I'm gonna talk out

00:33.250 --> 00:35.490
and hope nobody bothers me . How does

00:35.490 --> 00:37.620
that , how does that really kind of

00:37.630 --> 00:40.180
make , what's the impact of that in the

00:40.180 --> 00:42.291
workplace when there's a big sense of

00:42.291 --> 00:44.291
disconnectedness among the people ?

00:44.291 --> 00:46.890
Well , I think that what what happens

00:46.890 --> 00:49.190
is that we kind of lived this sort of

00:49.190 --> 00:52.520
self contained life , we become so

00:52.520 --> 00:56.050
privatized in our own time , we want

00:56.050 --> 00:58.980
our own time , um and we feel isolated

00:58.980 --> 01:01.450
and we feel like that the most

01:01.450 --> 01:04.060
important thing is me . Yeah . And I

01:04.060 --> 01:06.227
think that's a big , that's a big part

01:06.227 --> 01:08.393
of the impact of not feeling valued of

01:08.393 --> 01:10.740
apathy , feeling disconnected in the

01:10.740 --> 01:13.350
workplace . It's , it's , it's all

01:13.350 --> 01:16.870
those things that keep us from being

01:16.880 --> 01:18.713
together and having those shared

01:18.713 --> 01:21.130
experiences and you do , you do get

01:21.130 --> 01:23.463
that isolation and even to the point of ,

01:23.463 --> 01:25.630
and you have , and I have talked to as

01:25.630 --> 01:27.741
we go around and visit with units and

01:27.741 --> 01:29.963
what have you have people who just feel

01:29.963 --> 01:29.820
like they come in and they're just kind

01:29.820 --> 01:32.260
of sediment if you will and the rest of

01:32.260 --> 01:34.482
the workplace kind of flows around them

01:34.482 --> 01:36.316
and and just they're invisible ,

01:36.316 --> 01:38.538
they're invisible . Another obstacle is

01:38.538 --> 01:40.704
individualization , I have trouble , I

01:40.704 --> 01:42.704
have trouble saying that and that's

01:42.704 --> 01:44.760
pretty american of us . You think of

01:44.760 --> 01:47.260
think of what's that guy and uh , john

01:47.270 --> 01:50.510
john wayne , john john john

01:50.520 --> 01:52.650
john wayne john McCain , whatever .

01:52.650 --> 01:54.660
That tough american . And he does

01:54.670 --> 01:57.270
everything by himself or she laura

01:57.270 --> 01:59.326
croft does everything by herself for

01:59.326 --> 02:01.326
the most part . Um , but , but that

02:01.326 --> 02:03.548
hero who comes in , that american comes

02:03.548 --> 02:05.750
in and I can solve every problem by

02:05.750 --> 02:08.010
myself and that's really where it comes

02:08.010 --> 02:10.060
for both of these is the idea of I

02:10.060 --> 02:12.380
don't need anybody else . I don't need

02:12.390 --> 02:14.612
anyone else to have fun . I can watch a

02:14.612 --> 02:16.723
movie , I can play a game been me and

02:16.723 --> 02:19.050
my family . I don't need anyone else to

02:19.060 --> 02:21.890
uh , to speak into my life . I don't

02:21.890 --> 02:23.890
need anyone else to quote unquote ,

02:23.890 --> 02:26.001
tell me what to do . I can just do it

02:26.001 --> 02:28.570
all on my own . Right . Have you , have

02:28.570 --> 02:30.930
you seen that anywhere I have can call

02:30.930 --> 02:33.152
people out . Of course , I'm definitely

02:33.152 --> 02:35.319
not going to call anybody else , but I

02:35.319 --> 02:37.490
think that , uh what ? Oftentimes , so

02:37.490 --> 02:39.490
the bigger question for me is where

02:39.490 --> 02:41.670
does that come from ? Like why does

02:41.670 --> 02:44.370
that happen ? And again , I think that

02:44.370 --> 02:47.150
so many times in the workplace , uh ,

02:47.160 --> 02:50.120
people , I feel like that they're not

02:50.130 --> 02:53.360
appreciated , valued or heard , um ,

02:53.370 --> 02:55.481
they may have something very valuable

02:55.481 --> 02:57.314
to share . Uh , they're in their

02:57.314 --> 02:59.370
community , um , and they're kind of

02:59.370 --> 03:01.880
glossed over or they're in jobs that

03:01.880 --> 03:04.450
they're not passionate about and , but

03:04.450 --> 03:06.617
they don't have a say . So , would you

03:06.617 --> 03:08.783
say so that's disconnected , right ? I

03:08.783 --> 03:10.894
don't have to say , I don't , I don't

03:10.894 --> 03:13.117
have anybody paying attention to me and

03:13.117 --> 03:15.283
that's , that's certainly part of it .

03:15.283 --> 03:15.010
But a connection of that is also the

03:15.020 --> 03:17.460
individualization . If I'm in a job I

03:17.460 --> 03:19.571
don't care about , then I'm not going

03:19.571 --> 03:22.470
to input anything into the workplace ,

03:22.480 --> 03:25.250
so it's possible And I've been there to

03:25.250 --> 03:27.306
go into a workplace that I'm kind of

03:27.306 --> 03:29.528
the obstacle in the workplace . I don't

03:29.528 --> 03:31.528
want to be here . I want you all to

03:31.528 --> 03:33.528
leave me alone and do my job and go

03:33.528 --> 03:35.861
home and and shake the dust off my feet .

03:35.861 --> 03:38.028
Well , that's , that's a great point .

03:38.028 --> 03:40.083
So I think that there are times when

03:40.083 --> 03:42.083
the individual becomes the obstacle

03:42.083 --> 03:44.028
where the person is not willing to

03:44.028 --> 03:45.917
engage , uh , there are plenty of

03:45.917 --> 03:47.583
opportunities , whether it be

03:47.583 --> 03:49.806
resiliency events or fun days driven by

03:49.806 --> 03:51.806
the commander and the person says ,

03:51.806 --> 03:53.972
yeah , I just want my time , I want to

03:53.972 --> 03:56.083
do my own thing uh , in my time . And

03:56.083 --> 03:58.306
so there there is a , there's a balance

03:58.306 --> 04:00.528
because we talked before about the fact

04:00.528 --> 04:02.806
that we spend most of our time at work .

04:02.806 --> 04:04.861
And so when you go home , you know ,

04:04.861 --> 04:07.028
you want to spend time at home and you

04:07.028 --> 04:09.083
want to spend a little bit more time

04:09.083 --> 04:11.306
doing the things that you like to do in

04:11.306 --> 04:13.139
a self contained lives that self

04:13.139 --> 04:15.250
contained life . But we kind of build

04:15.250 --> 04:17.417
an echo chamber , don't we ? We do , I

04:17.417 --> 04:17.020
want to do everything by myself , with

04:17.020 --> 04:19.242
my family , the people already know and

04:19.242 --> 04:21.200
then that just can't , there's no

04:21.200 --> 04:23.040
newness , there's no freshness ,

04:23.040 --> 04:25.460
there's no new ideas , there's nothing

04:25.460 --> 04:27.682
necessarily that comes in because we've

04:27.682 --> 04:29.793
already built our group of people and

04:29.793 --> 04:31.293
we don't want anybody else

04:31.293 --> 04:33.516
participating . So that's what you guys

04:33.516 --> 04:33.490
are gonna kind of do . You're gonna ,

04:33.500 --> 04:35.278
you've driven a picture of your

04:35.278 --> 04:37.444
community and now you're going to draw

04:37.444 --> 04:39.444
a picture of what the obstacles are

04:39.444 --> 04:41.611
within your community and doesn't have

04:41.611 --> 04:43.333
to be just disconnectedness or

04:43.333 --> 04:45.500
individualization . It can be anything

04:45.500 --> 04:47.833
else . Please don't put names down like ,

04:47.833 --> 04:47.830
hey chaplain johnson is really a

04:47.840 --> 04:50.007
obstacle to everything that goes on in

04:50.007 --> 04:52.118
this office hypothetical , just using

04:52.118 --> 04:54.396
the example because you just make sure .

04:54.396 --> 04:56.562
Um , but please please don't do that .

04:56.562 --> 04:58.562
We're not , we're not interested in

04:58.562 --> 05:00.673
calling people out calling names . We

05:00.673 --> 05:02.284
are interested , though , in

05:02.284 --> 05:04.118
identifying the things that keep

05:04.118 --> 05:06.118
community from happening within our

05:06.118 --> 05:06.060
workplace .
