Where to begin
Two paths.
Take the practice in order, or answer two quick questions and I'll point you somewhere worth beginning.
For people who want a guided arc
The sequence
Inward first. Who we are - our identity and our purpose - is the foundation of everything we do. Then outward, to see what is in front of you. Then forward to move into what's next.
Inward · Live Well
- 1.Three MomentsWhat made us who we are today
- 2.Identity BoxHow we see ourselves, and what could be possible if we used that effort for something else
- 3.PurposeWho we want to be next, and how to get there
- 4.Emotions as InformationUnderstanding what we feel - and don't feel - can rapidly unlock new possibilities
Outward · Face What Is
- 5.Understanding your Leadership Circle ProfileAn objective look at your strengths and reactive patterns
- 6.Decision Making (Cynefin) & Challenge MapperUnderstand what type of challenge you are facing and the best way to move forward
- 7.Creative CollisionGet opposing perspectives to make your idea better
- 8.Open FacilitationGather input from a group on any questions that you have
Onward · Lead Well

- 10.Culture Readiness Assessmenttake stock of what your team needs to successfully change its culture (for teams / orgs)

- 12.The SqueezeMove forward quickly and easily by designing small experiments and rapidly harvesting them for insights
For people who'd rather be pointed
The quiz
About thirty seconds. Tell me where the pull is — toward yourself, toward a situation, or toward leading something — and I'll suggest somewhere to begin.
- What's drawing you here?
- And what part of that?
