PART 3 · LESSON 27 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

Close with what really happened

Ana closes the evening by revisiting what happened, not what was planned, and learns to share what she takes away from the day, not to promise what hasn't been agreed on yet, and to offer voluntary follow-up. Say before wrapping up three things that happened today not three things we planned, Lucy's first job Lena's mother's store and a word that took table two twelve minutes to define, what I take away from today is that the questions were better than the summaries, will there be another one, I don't know yet and I'm not going to promise one today, that's honest, if you want to stay involved leave your name with Emma at the door, and if we want to host the next one, then write that next to your name, thanks for the twelve minutes.
