Folks,

While there are no guarantees that it will be my best year ever, or for that matter the best year ever for my kids or Lins, it’s worth the ask—that is to say, the conversation has been worth it.

For reference, our headings are:

• Financial
• Family
• Health
• Business
• Fun/Adventure
• Contribution

Each of us wrote whatever we wanted under each heading.

Then, we used generative questions (you can see them scattered across the sheet) that the kids researched and a separate piece of paper to find links and themes between the headings. Out of that fell a plan.

You are probably already there, but it’s not actually about hoping for, wishing for, or planning the best year ever—the surface details don’t matter as much as the chance to connect to each other's thinking, connect ideas, and learn to listen to each other. It’s a metaphor for learning to collaborate—and in turn, if we do that, just maybe, we will have the best year ever.

Here’s to a great week, 

Simon

P.S. You can join me at Coach Camp on Sat 29th of March

P.S.S. In The Squat Garden is a NEW discovery workshop I have created for coaches, teachers, and physical therapists - I hope to see you there. Please note that there are only 15 tickets for each event and 5 early bird tickets.
