How do you do the hard thing? And how do you know when you’ve got it right?
Some years ago I found myself on a ropes course with a partner. High in the air, the object was to use teamwork to maneuver ourselves across twin tightropes to the opposite platform. We wore harnesses, and a safety net stretched below, so technically we couldn’t fall to our deaths. My partner turned to me for guidance. “Let’s just see how far we can get,” I said.
