Explore inventing a new practice in your life. Prepare yourself to share next week. Start by exploring what mess in your world or in a client’s world you might address. Small messes are potential targets as well as are big messes. For example, think of messes in your life: Getting in Shape, Losing Weight, Interfamily Conflicts… OR what about messes at work: Wasteful or Wasted Meetings, Missed Opportunities, Interdepartmental Conflicts.
