This imaginative exercise encourages you to tune into your body, evaluate the clarity of your interactions, and identify core values to embody in your future meetings.

Welcome to ABGW. Amazing, brilliant, gorgeous, wonderful, five mindful minutes for your real life, not your imaginary perfect one. If you're smart, capable, and secretly exhausted, you're in the right place. Okay, you're waiting for the dust to settle, and it sounds sensible until the desk the dust never settles, does it? I want you to try this quick uh what I call a disassociation. Um I call it um a quick multi-camera thing. Um I find it really useful when I work with clients, and I want you to imagine that you're in a situation and there's multiple cameras at you pointing at you, okay. Now these remember these cameras are here to help you, okay, so you can relax in this moment. Camera one is the first person, your body now. I want you to name three sensations that you can feel in your body quietly now. I want you to imagine camera two, it's on a balcony somewhere. Imagine watching a meeting back from the back of the room. What were the goals here? Was there clarity? Was there a fair process? What's the next step? Camera view camera three. I want you to imagine a camera that has a policy view. Did it map everything that it should map? All the standards? Which element did it squeeze? Did it squeeze demand, control, support, relationships, role or change? Just one word only. I want you to pick one value you want to embody in your next meeting, whether it's clarity, steadiness, respect, and then one sentence you might use. An example might be for clarity, could we confirm the scope and the next steps? You can choose to practice your sentence once.
