My experiment of the week: First an update on my experiment from last week. I found that I need to create a job aid for conversational analysis in order to practice the R\u2019s from Chapter 2. I must admit that not preparing for conversational analysis creates a scenario where I am looking back and trying to remember conversations, which makes them more susceptible to bias.\xa0 This week I am going to create a job aid for trust conversations, then find two or three scenarios to practice.\xa0 Practice will include the R\u2019s from Chapter 2.\xa0 \xa0 \xa0 Week 1: - \xa0 Week 2: - \xa0 Week 3: - \xa0 Week 4: - \xa0 \xa0 Next SPaMCAST\xa0 Next week our first essay of Year 16 with thoughts on flow metrics and why focusing on flow is powerful,\xa0 important, and causes people to run around like their hair is on fire.
