A practical action suggested by the card
Set the problem aside briefly, then describe it from another person's position.
How that can look in a reading
You keep revising a proposal to persuade the same reluctant audience. Looking at their problem instead of defending your solution may reveal a different proposal entirely.
Choose the smallest useful response
Adapt the example to the actual question rather than copying an action that belongs to a different situation.
- Identify what is within your control and what requires another person’s agreement.
- Choose one small action you can describe clearly enough to complete.
- Decide what response or new information would tell you to continue, adjust, or stop.
