QUESTIONS
Awkward silences will be replaced
by your conversations and if
something doesn’t work for you –
?
tell us. Not tomorrow but now, in
the moment. Today is adaptable and
unbreakable. And it is for you.
6. Your call.
You decide what’s important for you to talk about.
We will simply facilitate your conversation and help you record it.
7. I’m too busy to do this face to face?
What’s wrong with email?

Switch tables often
Let your self wander
Let your mind wander
Be open to the possibilities

feel uncomfortable when you try something new

Another important point on authenticity is the trust it can help build when your words and actions are aligned. Very simply, where what you say and what you do overlap, you get trust. And that’s cool. Where they don’t, you get trouble. And that’s what you deserve.
