Framework 356 · in one look
How to use it

Pretend you're about to introduce this person on a stage. You listen to remember, and you hunt for the one interesting thing about them you'd tell a room. Small talk turns into a real conversation.

How sure we are

E Evidence: built from practice. What works for coaches and practitioners. Labelled that way.
