statement was less than inspiring. And it still worked. In spades.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

was bursting with joy at their creativity and deep engagement with the theme. I
had a lot of people ask me questions and I just parroted back a principle or
the law. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

walked out the door, I heard people yell “WAIT! Hey! What….”
And I kept walking, repeating the mantra, trust the group, trust the group,
trust the group. I found a chair and ate a banana, heart racing, visions of
being fired dancing in my head. Five minutes later, I walked back in and
everything was working just fine – a couple of groups in the corridor,
some in the room, some outside. They produced awesome feedback and we have a
clear place to go for the next class.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
