Experience an Embedded Practice in real work.
Name what changed and what you'll do differently — within a day, before anyone has to ask.
When something changes, the first move isn't to fully process it. It's to name it. That five minutes is what separates the people who adapt from the people who trail.
When does this matter?
Any time a significant change in direction reaches you — a priority shift, a strategy change, a pivot, or a new constraint.
What do I do?
Within 24 hours, write two sentences: what changed, and what you'll do differently. Share both with your manager, unprompted.
How will I know it's working?
You'll know it's working when your manager stops checking whether you've absorbed the change.
How do I know it worked?
Your manager hears from you within a day of any change — not for clarification, but to show you're already moving.
Turn change into a next step within a day, without being asked.
