11:05:02 From  Julie E. Claussen  to  Everyone:
	from someone who sits in on ABT classes all the time - you get new insight each time!!

11:05:41 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Details on how to sign up to the ABT Framework Google Group here:  http://abtframework.com/abt-framework-student-resource-page-round-30-climate-ambassadors-program/#group
11:07:09 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	I've got two Working Circles for next week that haven't hit their 2 participant minimum yet.  Would appreciate if I could get volunteers to jump in:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17ry5-PdWi2UjPUk_VAHZv9MtkMCc7Fuu0laltWsKcOU/edit#gid=0


	Awesome, thank you!!
11:14:24 From  Rick Nelson  to  Everyone:
	Health screenings or insurance.
11:14:50 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	We know something that is good, but it's not used, therefore we need to make it more available.
11:16:10 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	This is such a great example of need a good Christmas Tree to hang the ornaments off of.
11:16:21 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	*needing
11:20:04 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	A story of creating a compelling narrative.

11:21:58 From  Dan Crear  to  Everyone:
	Should we be defining the problem separately from the ultimate and proximate goals? I assumed that they would be separate but from this discussion it seems they are same\

11:22:47 From  Christina Morrisett  to  Everyone:
	Yeah, I thought the ultimate and prox goals were the answers to the This Is A Story Of...
11:23:07 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Dan - they're heavily related.  Whenever I'm struggling to find the problem I narrow down to the proximate goal and look at the one thing directly stopping us from getting to the proximate goal.
11:23:13 From  Danielle Haulsee (she/her)  to  Everyone:
	Maybe say “environment” instead of climate
11:23:23 From  Dylan Monahan  to  Everyone:
	There seems to sometimes be a tension having a simple compeling story and have a comprehensive one
11:23:58 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	It's very common for the problem to be the thing that's stopping us from getting to the proximate goal, or for the proximate goal to be the solution to the problem.  So they're heavily related.
11:24:17 From  peter  to  Everyone:
	know your audience
11:24:24 From  Dan Crear  to  Everyone:
	Thanks David, ya I feel like during the working circles its been hard to separate the problem from the goal
11:24:56 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	@Dylan...yes! If it's too concise it's not very compelling, if has too many compelling facts, it's not concise...always a balance.
11:25:00 From  Joe Hennessy  to  Everyone:
	Replying to "It's very common for..."
	
	Yes, Matt- that's exactly what I run into.  If I don't tackle the us vs them harvest issue first, I can't get to the actual problem.
11:26:59 From  Rick Nelson  to  Everyone:
	Improving water management
11:27:30 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	We have something that's essential but it is disappearing because...therefore we need a plan to conserve/protect it.
11:29:12 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	One of the most dangerous modes of thinking is "oh, this goes without saying."  No!  To your Outer Circle, it does NOT go without saying.  You need to say it!
11:31:51 From  Rick Nelson  to  Everyone:
	I think a more explicit description of what half means would be useful.
11:35:25 From  Dylan Monahan  to  Everyone:
	Reacted to "@Dylan...yes! If it'..." with 👍
11:43:44 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	I've seen this consistently in everything from well edited news paper articles to scientific research papers - they all hover around 2.5%.
11:46:30 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Measure it in your own writing slide:  http://storycirclestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/measure-your-own-writing-slide.png
11:47:25 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	And Frequency and Narrative Index scores slide:  http://storycirclestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/and-frequency-and-narrative-index-scores.png
11:47:59 From  Dan Crear  to  Everyone:
	can you also include however with but?
11:48:30 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	You can.  In my experience, it makes extremely little difference.
11:48:50 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	There's the occasional outlier that adding however will greatly effect the score, but it's rare.
11:48:57 From  Rick Nelson  to  Everyone:
	Dan Crear.  You can.  In my experience with ABT but is more powerful.
11:50:01 From  Cole Webster  to  Everyone:
	Are these metrics in the book?
11:50:32 From  Cole Webster  to  Everyone:
	metric guidelines*
11:51:33 From  Dan Crear  to  Everyone:
	hence my question haha
11:52:43 From  Danielle Haulsee (she/her)  to  Everyone:
	Replying to "Are these metrics in..."
	
	Not that I remember.
11:53:02 From  Rick Nelson  to  Everyone:
	Good to keep in mind the Inner circle vs. Outer Circle
11:53:09 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Replying to "Are these metrics in..."
	
	They're not in The Narrative Gym.  The last book that had them was Narrative is Everything.
11:54:02 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Narrative is Everything:  https://www.amazon.com/Narrative-Everything-ABT-Framework-Evolution/dp/107223257X/
11:54:38 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	You can also find the metrics on Randy's blog post here:  http://www.scienceneedsstory.com/blog/the-narrative-index/
11:54:44 From  Carolyn Hall (she/her)  to  Everyone:
	@Cole we have the metrics in the ABT review sheet in your google folder - 1. ABT
11:56:12 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	We may have time for a Q&A today.  Any questions for Randy?
11:56:46 From  Cole Webster  to  Everyone:
	Reacted to "@Cole we have the me..." with 👍
11:58:28 From  Cole Webster  to  Everyone:
	When choosing between loss of money or loss of biodiversity, and it may be audience dependent, which do you choose?
11:59:27 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	It depends on how you set it up...
12:00:22 From  Rick Nelson  to  Everyone:
	Remember Park’s “Make the Audience the Hero”
