Module 3 Discussion: Bring Your Team Energy

This discussion is for Week 3, after you have started Module 3: Working as a Team.

In Module 3, you’ll focus on what it means to contribute, support your teammates, build trust, take initiative, and celebrate wins together. For this discussion, think about a team you’ve truly belonged to — a job, a sport, a class, a church group, or another group.

To complete this Week 3 discussion:

Post your response by Wednesday of Week 3.
Reply to at least two classmates by Friday of Week 3.

In your post, share:

  1. One team experience where you felt like you truly belonged.
  2. What made that team feel strong.
  3. One thing you personally contributed to that team.
  4. One thing you can bring to your Pizza Hut team to help others feel supported.

In your replies, be specific and encouraging. Build on a classmate’s idea, ask a thoughtful question, or point out a strength you noticed in their post.

Remember: Nobody wins a dinner rush alone. Strong teams are built when people show up for each other.
