→ Talking while sketching out a 2x2 framework.
→ Asking provocative questions (with precision).
→ Explaining your point-of-view clearly.
→ Giving other people attention and listening.

Each of these can form a separate experiment. You get the idea?

2/ Prioritise this and spend time on it every day for a week. If necessary work with an accountability partner, or a coach.

3/ Notice what happens, journal it, and report back.
