The Counsel journal: this week’s line, a step to check in on, and your record, 4 of 5
Make a guess

Your guess, then what happened.

When you save a step, write what you think will happen. Counsel reminds you, and when you check in, your guess sits next to how it went.

Your step
At Thursday’s 1:1, ask who sets the client’s dates.
You guessed
“He won’t know, and it’ll feel awkward.”
It went
I did it, and better than you guessed.

Your record

Most of what we dread never happens the way we picture it.

After a few check-ins, the journal shows how many went as well as you guessed, or better, with the steps you tried and the talks you practiced. Each week starts with one plain line of what you did.

This week: 6 steps, 3 talks practiced, 2 notes.
