A new program
Your cat has been given a seat at the table and no instruction on what to do once the room goes quiet. This program covers the rest.
Where it breaks down
Most cats arrive with presence and leave with nothing decided. The gap is not confidence. It is everything that happens between the agenda going out and the room emptying.
The document is under the cat. It has been under the cat since the meeting opened. Nobody has asked for it back, and that is its own kind of problem.
Somewhere in the third item the cat stands, stretches and goes. The discussion continues without a chair, which is to say it does not continue at all.
Every item goes over the edge, one at a time, with eye contact. Decisive, certainly. Difficult to reconstruct in the minutes.
How the room works
No lectures. Every session takes a meeting the cat is already dreading and runs it, in the room, until it holds.
The one on the calendar this week, not a hypothetical.
Seven other cats in the chairs, playing it straight.
Usually item two. Occasionally before the agenda is read.
Same meeting, same room, until it closes on a decision.
The curriculum
Each module opens with the moment it fails and works backwards from there.
Starting a meeting from the chair rather than from the middle of the table. Covers arrival, the first sentence, and what to do with the tail.
Reading ahead, spotting the item that will take the whole hour, and moving it without appearing to have moved it.
Staying in the chair through the part that is uncomfortable. The single hardest skill in the program, and the reason most cats enrol.
Ending the meeting with something written down. Includes the summary, the owner, the date, and leaving the table with everything still on it.
I came in able to hold a room. I left able to close one.
