End-of-session outputs — complete together
What we leave with
- Three personal success maps: approved priorities, success conditions and non-negotiables, one per person.
- A shared alignment-and-differences map: reinforcing goals, tensions and incompatible expectations.
- An open-question register: unresolved issues, named owners and the next route to resolution.
A named note owner captures approved points during the discussion. At the close, review this pack together, confirm agreement or record differences, check owners and deadlines, then approve and export the shared version. Not pre-work; not an advance submission.
Before this session
Arrive prepared
Bring your completed retrospective and future story; share only the personal details you approve.
Individual pre-work is due 48 hours before Session 1, subject to each person’s sharing approval; dates and submission location remain unconfirmed.
Open individual pre-work worksheets →Activities & timing
Understand what changed—and what each person wants from the next chapter.
Opening agreement
Agree purpose, confidentiality, whether to record, and the rules for decisions and notes. Name the timekeeper and decision-log owner.
Eighteen-month retrospectives
Each person looks backward: what changed, what matters more now, and what matters less. The others listen and clarify.
Allow 25 minutes for each story and 10 for listening and clarification. Keep the retrospective distinct from the future vision.
Dinner / breakfast break
Protected dinner for Seth and Graham in Cape Town; breakfast for Darren in California. Leave the call. No working meal or required discussion; return at 18:45 SAST / 08:45 PST.
Twelve-month future stories
Describe the life each person wants: family, health, work, money, place, learning and contribution. Make ambitions, constraints and non-negotiables explicit. Each person has 7 minutes to share the prepared vision and 3 for clarification.
Shared resonance and differences
Compare the three pictures. Identify reinforcing goals, tensions and incompatible expectations. Name the gaps without forcing agreement.
Reflection and close
Capture energy, caution, trust and desire to continue. Record decisions and carry forward unresolved questions.
