Assignments for Orient on Methods

How do we complete lesson 1 and begin working on our assignments? How can we get help and pull what we need from our project clients and instructor?

The slides for this video are here

Homework Before Next Session

  • Read HL chapters 1-3 on performance and 10 on clarifying expectations
  • Complete a Performance Wisdom Jig on the challenge you anticipate facing, upload a copy to your folder.
  • Have a 20 minute Zoom coffee meeting with a classmate you don’t yet know to practice the Coffee Wisdom Jig techniques and build your sense of connection to your peers.
    • Write a 1 page letter (1 page double spaced, 12pt font) to your instructor on what you learned doing the Performance Jig and in your Coffee Jig conversation.
    • Work at least one idea from each chapter you read into your letter to start weaving this all together.

Project work Before Next Session

  • Prepare to meet with your project client
    • Review your project to find your focus and questions to clarify what the client needs, values, and expects as a deliverable (slide deck, written report, or ?).
