This session motivated me to try 3 things regarding being in a situation where I feel like I am aligned with what I heard today but the other person (who has some power over me -as a "boss" or client or service provider or maybe they are just bigger than me or have a weapon...) is not aligned:

1. I will be assertive vs. passive or aggressive or passive aggressive
2. I will make sure I am not being the "other"
3. I will report on my failures

Give me a few weeks to try this...
