In the process of creating something, anything, the only thing that is expected is the unexpected. Monday morning at the studio began filled with uncertainty: where are we headed? what's the point, really? why are we doing this? The same questions that began the process continued through relentlessly. After a lunch time of conversation and quick brainstorming, the coaches decided on a new plan of action for the day, and the later part of Monday transformed into progressive steps forward. Was it talking about the circumlocutious Monday morning path or deciding on a new course of action that eventually led us to clarity, well, we simply don't know, but what we do know is that we simply had to go down that path nonetheless.
