    The Relateful Company should embrace more job titles. We’re under-appreciating orange.

    We’ve included the green critiques, like the classic:

    What gets measured gets managed — even when it’s pointless to measure and manage it, and even if it harms the purpose of the organisation to do so - V. F. Ridgway, 1956

    But we need to embrace more healthy competition, striving for excellence, even rankings.

    one way we can do this is to make more liberal use of titles, and brag on people. @Valerie Daniel is the MANAGING DIRECTOR, and we should have her listed as such in emails and things

    What else is healthy orange and how can we transclude it?
    What do we already do that is already healthy orange?

    Oh yeah interesting! I wonder what’s up with it? Like even within really postmodern / green populations, there are some contexts/framings where this stuff just doesn’t bother people. Like in karate, the belt systems....

    Loving UR quadrant, actionable, body-driven development . For years, I have been expanding into more into healthy assertiveness and yet what is unfolding in me by lifting weights (now in a more harcore way at the gym) feels profound. Physical practice quite easily leads to distinct, measureable personal evolutions. I’m more confident, things feel more do-able, I take up more space as I walk down the street. I feel more primal power like I could flip over a car if any-of-you-that-I-love-so-much is pinned under it!

    Different roads lead to big identity shifts.
    • to be more elegant, meticulous, polished, do ballet
    • to be more concise, narrowed, targeted and focused, throw darts
    • to feel more gross level, tangible, raw here-ness, do wrestling

    Let the body be the driver. We don’t always need to talk about it (though that can enhance the awareness and integration). The body discovers the way.

    I was learning Muay Thai (Thai kickboxing) last Fall. It pushed me beyond limits and I loved it. I noticed that I showed up differently in life - more assertive and more willing to take risks. Sadly, I sprained my MCL (knee ligament) and had to take a break....
