EASEBRAIN ACADEMY — OFFLINE MISSION PACK Find your north https://easebrain.live/curriculum/find-your-north CHALLENGE Create a team charter and a personal seven-day experiment. Choose one useful behaviour, define what you will do and decide how you will know whether it helped. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Write a commitment that another person can observe. Plan, monitor and evaluate one learning strategy. LEARN & APPLY 1. Make it observable A goal such as ‘be a better leader’ is difficult to test. A commitment such as ‘summarise each teammate’s view before I propose a decision’ describes something another person can observe. Start small and name the situation in which you will practise. Practice: Write one behaviour, one occasion to practise and one way to check it. 2. Build a team agreement Agree how your team will decide, divide work and ask for help. A clear agreement makes disagreement easier to handle. Rotate chair, analyst, builder and communicator so everyone practises different responsibilities. Practice: Draft four team agreements and assign the first rotating roles. 3. Learn from the baseline A baseline records where you start. Write your own explanation before a group discussion, then compare it with your revised view. Keep both versions: a change supported by evidence is useful progress. Practice: Record your starting view and one change you made after listening. WORKED EXAMPLE At our next two meetings, I will summarise each teammate's concern before proposing a decision. Our observer will record whether I did. This names an action, an occasion and evidence; 'be confident' does not. YOUR PRACTICE QUESTION Turn 'I want to be a better leader' into an assessable commitment. Write your answer before reading the explanation below. EXPLANATION Name a specific action, when you will practise, and who or what will record it. For example: invite each teammate to share one concern at Tuesday's meeting, with a tally in the minutes. STRETCH Compare planned and actual practice time. Change one part of your plan using what you noticed. PRACTICAL: Turn a value into a visible action Suggested time: 35 minutes + three observations over a week Illustrated crew scenario (fictional learning example) Our team says everyone will contribute. How would we notice? I will ask one quieter person for an idea before we choose, then record whether I did it. PREDICT: Which is easier to check: ‘be a good leader’ or ‘invite one unheard view before deciding’? Why? STARTER: Fictional team: one member speaks often, one draws ideas, one arrives late. The club meets three times this week. Choose inclusion, reliability or curiosity as your value. 1. Make a commitment Write: When [occasion], I will [observable action], because [value]. Choose an action you control, not an outcome another person must produce. 2. Collect three observations Record the occasion, intended action, actual action and evidence. Use a simulation if you cannot meet a team; label it clearly. Do not record classmates’ names. 3. Revise with evidence Compare intention with behaviour. Change one cue or action for the next occasion and explain which observation prompted it. COMPARE AFTER TRYING: ‘Be inclusive’ is hard to observe. ‘Before a vote, ask for a written idea from each person’ is testable. The Inventor tried this twice, forgot once, and added a reminder to the meeting agenda. That is a useful revision, not proof of permanent leadership skill. SELF-CHECK My action is observable and within my control. Three observations distinguish what I intended from what happened. My next action responds to an observation. TRANSFER: Use the same value when time is cut in half. What can you simplify without excluding someone?
