11:08:02 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	If you haven't already, be sure to sign up to host a Working Circle here:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RwHAMYZGd6HQp9mb3dBZ-TkmanHT2rH9_AAy-V3uXqg/edit#gid=0
11:10:22 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	For more details on Working Circles, you can check out our Resource Page.  I'll also be posting references from the class and optional exercises there:  http://abtframework.com/abt-framework-course-round-28-georgia-ctsa/
11:11:56 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	The ABT Build is with one person but it's really for everyone else...it's for you to see how we evolve powerful narratives...along the way you'll become ever more deeply engaged in narrative communication.
11:19:45 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Henry just used the word BECAUSE in explaining why he changed focus.  We've found using BUT/BECAUSE together is a very powerful way to get specific.  The BUT/BECAUSE is an important concept for this class.
11:19:51 From  Ambar Kulshreshtha  to  Everyone:
	I will be driving in a few minutes so I will just give mine here . I am trained as a primary care physician But I was not happy seeing just patients 1-1 therefore I trained as an epidemiologist
11:20:03 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Thanks Ambar!
11:25:29 From  Daniel Graciaa  to  Everyone:
	New ID division motto: antibiotics and rainbows
11:25:36 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Lol!
11:26:27 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Expected Vs. Observed is another important concept for the class.
11:27:51 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	They Say, I Say:  https://www.amazon.com/They-Say-Readings-Fifth/dp/0393538737/
11:28:35 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Properly setting up the context is something we'll be focusing on a LOT.
11:31:59 From  Rick Nelson  to  Everyone:
	The importance of Working Circles is that you will get feedback from colleagues.  Because you can't do this alone and it isn't a “one and done” activity.   As you can already see, feedback will instantly improve your ABT.
11:32:22 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	This is core to the class:  The BUT needs to be a PROBLEM to maximize engagement from the audience.
11:34:02 From  Rick Nelson  to  Everyone:
	During the ABT Build exercises you are giong to hear Randy ask over and over of everyone's ABT, “What is the problem?”
11:37:44 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	You'll be hearing that phrase a lot:  The power of storytelling rests in the specifics.
11:43:06 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	Notice how Randy took out much of the detail to get down to the central core narrative. After that you can expand by adding back detail.
11:50:03 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	I think Paulina is our last ABT.  Is there anyone I missed?
11:50:13 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Speak now or forever hold your ABT!
11:50:24 From  Ambar Kulshreshtha  to  Everyone:
	Can u use But more than once ? Career paths generally have multiple twists :-)
11:51:21 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Ambar - sure!  That's what we call an ABTBT.  You start stringing BUTs and THEREFOREs together into a longer narrative.
11:52:04 From  Rick Nelson  to  Everyone:
	Ambar.  Eventually you will be able to connect ABTs and use the framework over and over.   For now, we'll focus on a singular narrative, i.e. one But-Therefore.
11:56:37 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Here's the David Gold article that Randy is referencing that first mentions the Christmas Tree:  https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/02/data-driven-campaigns-democrats-need-message-214759/
