And lately, I’ve noticed a pattern. People offer me advice—sometimes I’m fully engaged, scribbling notes, asking follow-up questions, trying it out right away. Other times? It hits a wall.

Third, you may want to feel through what sharing that information may have meant to your client and how vulnerable that may have made her.

It’s uncanny, how a second watch can help you attend to different story lines and overall themes.

A third suggests waiting for more direction. And just like that, progress gets quietly postponed. It’s not that people are trying to block innovation.
