Andrew Gerkens's insight:

1. Start the meeting by asking a question (i.e. What surprised you this week? Where are we failing that we didn't expect to?) 2. Give everyone time to consider their response (think/write/post-it) 3.

'If we began to see ourselves as highly adaptive, and looked at the number of ways we have successfully adapted to change in our personal and professional lives, we might start seeing our ability to adapt in a new light. We might realize that we do this all the time. And it might help us ask better questions when we resist. Like:
