More from Jim on the conversation reflection
Feelings before start: saw the intent, interested to see how it would turn out and how much I could get out of it.
During the conversations: Surprised what some people focused on, a bit of judgement but paraphrased it into an improvement. The advisers were very willing to give their opinions.
Learning: Definitely learned from the conversation, and that helped me think differently about the problem, see new possibilities and better solutions.
Follow up: The people I spoke with were not surprised and likely wondering what I’m up to next. Curious about what actions the problems turn into.
The conversations were fun.
