Becoming fluent with using The Tools requires practice. Practice requires opportunities and I’ll emphasize the notion that informal, day-to-day transactions as well as more formal meetings and events are just such opportunities.

And, while we are in the early stages it makes sense to work with a colleague from the cohort whenever possible as then you both will have taken the class and have a common language.

So your activity is to reach out to a cohort member to arrange for both of you to act as each other’s support person for an event you will ‘design and do’ using The Tools before the next class. You’ll need to be quick of the mark as there is just one week before the next class.

Post your reflections about this practice session in the comment section below using the reflection questions that also come from The Tools.

They are: –

  1. What went well, and, especially, what did you do well (self-appreciation)?
  2. What was difficult and challenging and what would you do differently next time?
