Roles – Playing Your Assigned Role(s) Well

Workout Summary

Workout 2 challenges us to look at the various roles we play in life, whether we’ve chosen them or not.

After naming some of our roles, we engage in two “role critiques”—one having to do with three of the significant roles we now play or have played, and another having to do with “limitation-roles,” roles that are more situational or unexpected, whether temporary or long.

Finally, after contemplating the significance of embracing our roles, among other questions, we turn to consider how we can better play or practice our roles today, focusing on three challenging roles we now play. The point? Let’s play our roles well!
