Yes! Yes! Yes!

With many clients, it feels like the most useful thing I bring to the
project--maybe the only useful thing--is that I trust the people in the room to do
what is needed.   The process is a dance which may help to bring people face to
face.   But knowing, in my gut, that the people are fully capable is what I
bring to the party.
