An editable slide - see previous
One of my favorite slides - it is about perspective and objectivity. Staying “too close to the wagon” limits perspective and vision.
Step back from the wagon to see more about what can be done.
Two versions of this exist -- one is an image and one is text.
This is the form we use -- you do not need to show it.
The Mud series
Included here are some Mud pictures - “We’re not like that; we’re up to our axles in mud!”
You also have the “Bucket Puller” - some people just seem to make things even more difficult than they have to be!
You can add the Alligator / Shark overlay -” Alligators may be the competition and Sharks might be the consultants!”
The Cement Truck - “It may not be mud” - thus the need to “Get out of the Ditch and up on the Road.”
Lots of interesting possibilities. Do NOT use all of these since they can be overwhelming.

Spectator Sheep tend to have energy and perspective - they just tend to be going in different directions from everyone else!
Note the change in direction - These individuals are often motivated or can be motivated because they are dissatisfied with the way things are and they often get peer support. One key is to realign them.

The View at the front of the wagon is lovely.
(You can embellish this as much as you want, verbally.)

The View at the back of the wagon is not nearly as motivating and engaging.

I will not bother to narrate the slides - see that article in the previous notes!
