Side 1 — The 4 Signals
Header (athletic-orange): SPOT IT 6 WEEKS EARLIER
Four boxes, equal grid:
| 1. ENERGY DRIFT | 2. SCOPE SHRINK |
|---|---|
| Sustained step-down in baseline energy. Camera off, late replies, lunch vanished. | Stopped reaching for the +1. Just doing the job. No more ideas in 1:1s. |
| 3. RECOVERY GAP | 4. RELATIONAL FADE |
| Weekends, leave, evenings no longer reset. Comes back from holiday already tired. | Weak ties dying first. Not in casual channels. One-word replies. |
Footer: 2 signals → act · 3+ signals or Signal 4 alone for 4 weeks → escalate
Side 2 — The OPENED Conversation
Header (athletic-orange): THE CONVERSATION (OPENED)
| O | OBSERVE without diagnosing — name what's on a recording |
|---|---|
| P | PERMISSION to talk — hand them the agenda |
| E | EXPLORE — 2–3 open questions, then SHUT UP |
| N | NORMALISE — "what you're describing sounds hard" |
| E | ENABLE one move within your gift, named today |
| D | DIRECT — EAP · GP · MEM coach |
