Goals

• Rusty: Think about a conversation you are not having … and explore how you can broach it!
• Rahti: Gamify your reactions: see how many times can you shift from an annoyed reaction to curiosity. Aim for 3.

Final Thoughts

• Rahti: If it’s not fun, there’s probably a better way to go about it.
• Rusty: We have way more capability and potential than we realize; aim high
