GYTI · TWELVE WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE

Twelve ways to move through the world.

The types are not ranked, and none is more mature than another. Each has its good days and its bad ones.

SPRK · Mobilise

The Spark

When an idea stalls, you are usually the one who says, "Let's give it a shot."

WAVE · Mobilise

The room goes awkwardly quiet and your brain starts loading a joke. It usually works. At least people start talking again.

ECHO · Connect

When someone says, "I'm fine," you notice whether it sounds finished. You leave room for the rest of the sentence.

LINK · Connect

Someone says they need help and three names pop into your head. You nearly name the group chat before anyone agrees to join it.

YOND · Explore

The room is planning this month and you are already asking about next year. You are not distracted. Your timeline is simply longer.

SCOT · Explore

No manual? Fine. You probably were not going to read it first anyway. You check what is off-limits and try the smallest opening you can find.

DRIV · Deliver

Before "we're agreed" has left the room, you are asking who owns the work and when it is due. You do not leave decisions stranded in meetings.

ANCH · Deliver

Everyone says, "It should be fine." You quietly hit save. You are not a pessimist. You have met "should" before.

FRAM · Align

When a room talks itself in five directions, you reach for a blank page and ask whether everyone is solving the same problem.

BRDG · Align

A sentence contains synergy, enablement, alignment, and leverage. Your internal subtitles kick in: who is doing what, and by when?

BNDY · Rhythm

Someone else's “quick favour” does not automatically become your evening. You check what you actually have left before saying yes.

HOST · Rhythm

By the eighth “we should hang out sometime,” you have started a new chat, posted three dates and checked who hates coriander.
