Great site, great learning games. However, I don’t use them very much. My
teaching is more focused on the technical side, and my coaching is more
hands on, “In the situation,” if you will.

That is a personal evolution that has to do with some stuff that I learned
from some mistakes that I made. I find that I am better at that and that it
is closer to what my customers really want but often don’t know how to ask
for. YMMV.

Whatever that thing is that normal people have that makes them worry what
other people think of their ideas, I was born without that. 99% sure.
Resistance is an intellectual challenge. Bring it.
