Practice what you teach.

This deck is running in Playbook right now — the room opens with a word cloud.

Your slides write the checks.

Two checks, written from this deck's own language — you approve the answers.

Everyone answers. On their phones.

Watch the room build a mind map — no hands raised.

The room's words, kept.

A flipchart the room fills together — and you keep.

Practice the hard parts.

A roleplay: the room votes each move of a hard conversation.

See where the room stands.

Four corners, a rating scale, and an open question — live.

It sticks after they leave.

Everyone writes a letter to their Monday self. It stays on their phone.

The new hire needs direction. The quiet one wants to be asked. The self-starter needs trust. The skeptic needs the why. The veteran wants me out of the way. Someone's drowning — I need to step in. What does each person on your team need from you right now?

One of your best people just started missing the mark. Design the 1:1 that finds the real reason — and matches your style to what they need. You have 8 minutes.

open with 'something's felt different' — not 'we need to talk'… Open by naming what you've seen, gently. Ask one real question and wait. Diagnose: capable but cautious. Then support — remind them of a past win and hand them one clear next step.

One of your best people just started stalling. Have the conversation.

Yeah… I don't know. I've been in my head about the work. I'll sort it out — you don't need to worry about it.
Can you walk me through what's felt different lately? I'm not looking for a status update — I actually want to understand what shifted for you.
Honestly? The client rebuild rattled me. I made one call that didn't land, and now I second-guess everything before I ship it.

Write to your Monday self.
An example 1819 letters being written

Dear Monday me,

You already know who on your team you've been leading the wrong way. You've known for weeks.

The new person doesn't need your vision speech. Give her a clear next step and show her what good looks like.

Get out of your veteran's way. She's earned the trust — hovering just tells her you forgot.

And the one who's stalling? Don't fix it for him. Ask, listen, and tell him you've got him.

What I learned12
MI've been delegating to people who actually needed coaching.★
JMy 'consistent' leadership was just one style on repeat.
Why it matters9
RBecause the person I keep directing is ready to run — and I'm the bottleneck.
SBecause my most capable report is one bad month from leaving.

The proof

Prove your methodology works.

Follow-up checks — yours to send — re-ask the very check your room answered live. What comes back, per cohort, is retention against the forgetting curve.

Hand the client that, not a satisfaction survey.
