Session 6 — The Sphere

4 questions from session 6, answered in your own words.

The questions 4 questions

Answer in your own words, out loud or on paper. Nothing is scored, nothing is marked, and nothing is stored — this is for noticing what you have, not for anybody to grade.

  4. Somebody is spiralling about a future event and you say "Everything will be fine." What have you just done?
