We sit with constant change. Plans shift. We do not always have the answers. So we try a simple frame that keeps people grounded. Here is what we know. Here is what we do not know yet. Here is what will not change. It helps us speak plainly without pretending.

We look at how people need different kinds of certainty. Some want things said out loud. Others are fine in the grey. We talk about why trust matters so the words land, and how trust is often a felt sense rather than a slide or a metric.

We use the dance floor and balcony image. Stay close to the work, then step up for a wider view. The stepping up is hard when the pace is high. We name change fatigue and how it shows. We share small rituals that help us reflect without loading one person with all the work. Short pauses. Rotas. Fresh prompts so the habit does not go stale
