Groundwork, the tools

The Replay

Presence5 minutes
If this is you

A conversation went wrong. Someone came at you in a meeting and you didn't meet them where they were. You froze, or you over-explained, or you said the one line you wish you could take back. It's days later and it's still playing.

Most of us only ever rehearse the miss. We run the bad version at night, again and again, until it's the only version we have of that meeting.

This gives you a second one. It doesn't change what happened. It gives your body a second reference for what it's like to be in a moment like that.

If you're open to it, this takes about five minutes. One step at a time. Read it, close your eyes, do it. The page waits.
