Today on the podcast we explore the mindset tool we call playing in the gray. We discuss the practice of accepting the as-is, embracing the middle way, and sitting in discomfort long enough to learn from it. Playing in the gray is all about flexible thinking, courage, curiosity and trust…. ultimately a giant improv comedy sketch and an opportunity to create some magic from the mayhem. We laugh, we cry, we lean in. Join us!
