	The Narrative Gym for Science Graduate Students and Postdocs:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLQN2ML5/
11:08:12 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	Still have a few Working Circles for Week 4 that need some more participants.  Sign up here:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17ry5-PdWi2UjPUk_VAHZv9MtkMCc7Fuu0laltWsKcOU/edit#gid=0
11:09:15 From Jen Zamon To Everyone:
	We are here to *pump you up*
11:10:40 From Jen Zamon To Everyone:
	Alex can handle it!
11:12:44 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	This is interesting.  It's not often we see broad vs specific cABTs.
11:15:09 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	This is uncanny.  I'm not sure we've had a group that's picked up on cABTs this quickly before.
11:17:12 From Elizabeth Stulberg, Lewis-Burke Associates To Everyone:
	@matt Agreed! These are terrific.
11:20:16 From Mike Strauss To Everyone:
	We know what we want to do but don't have the resources so we're doing it another way.
11:23:35 From Mike Strauss To Everyone:
	We have something that works well, but we don't follow through, therefore we need to follow through.
11:24:13 From Mike Strauss To Everyone:
	We have something that's good, but it can go bad so we're trying o keep it good
11:24:56 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	I know nothing!!!
11:25:12 From Jen Zamon To Everyone:
	Matt Schultz
11:26:57 From Mike Strauss To Everyone:
	Liked Cathy's
11:27:33 From Jen Zamon To Everyone:
	we know something is bad, but we don't know why it is bad, therefore we have to understand the mechanism
11:28:39 From Jen Zamon To Everyone:
	we want this thing, but it conflicts wtih another thing we want, so we have to find a balance
11:29:19 From Katie Barnas To Everyone:
	I like that Jen, balance is a good way to put it. 
11:30:32 From Jen Zamon To Everyone:
	We made a promise, but we broke that promise, so we need to fix it.
11:30:45 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	Nice Jen!
11:30:47 From Jen Zamon To Everyone:
	Hoo-rah
11:31:02 From Mike Strauss To Everyone:
	We promised to do something, but we haven't done it, so we need to get it done.
11:38:10 From Mike Strauss To Everyone:
	Notice that as Gates is talking you are thinking..."get to the point" and you sense it's going nowhere. When Jobs take over things suddenly begin to move along...
11:38:51 From Jen Zamon To Everyone:
	Lack of active listening - what was the question? what does the audience want to hear?
11:39:48 From Jen Zamon To Everyone:
	This was what you were talking about last week - at some point, you can recognize poor flow and it drives you crazy
11:40:50 From Jen Zamon To Everyone:
	Heaven BUT….
11:42:46 From Marlis R Douglas To Everyone:
	@Jen - great that you know have developed the sensors to identify good/bad narrative. And yes, one can get very impatient once it feels so obvious. 🙂
11:42:59 From Marlis R Douglas To Everyone:
	*now
11:44:37 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	Here's Matt Stone and Trey Parker (South Park creators) talking about their use of the ABT to structure episodes:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGUNqq3jVLg
11:46:31 From Elizabeth Stulberg, Lewis-Burke Associates To Everyone:
	If you can change your "ands" to "buts," you can make your story more interesting. BUT don't confuse that with *replacing* your "ands" with "buts." Because if you look at a sentence with a but and could *replace* it with "and," then it's not a true "but," not a true contradiction.
11:49:16 From Jen Zamon To Everyone:
	Are there examples of folks who DEVELOPED narrative intuition, vs. having some innate talent for it?
11:49:30 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	Here's the "measure it yourself" slide:  http://storycirclestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/measure-your-own-writing-slide.png
11:49:56 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	And this ratings slide:  http://storycirclestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/and-frequency-and-narrative-index-scores.png
11:55:54 From Jen Zamon To Everyone:
	I'm afraid to look at our Strategic Plans….😱
11:56:23 From Julie Firman (she, her) Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife To Everyone:
	Jen, Randy says that this is his story (i.e. he learned narrative intuition) :)
11:56:35 From Mike Strauss To Everyone:
	Most strategic plans I've seen are AAA
11:57:04 From Marlis R Douglas To Everyone:
	Resolutions are the worst! And whereas, and whereas,….. Therefore…. - no BUT bomb whatsoever.
11:58:14 From Chris Tatara To Everyone:
	The executive summary of our AGM has a NI of 6
11:58:48 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	Chris - did you just do the metrics right now?  What was the total word count?
11:58:49 From Jen Zamon To Everyone:
	@Chris, interesting…
11:59:01 From Jen Zamon To Everyone:
	AGM = Annual Guidance Memo
