Back in my high school Spanish class I struggled to learn a new verb form. It didn’t fit into the neat little list of “I,” “you,” “he,” “she,” “we,” and “they.” I had no clue what to do with it.

The power we need to deploy should show up in our response to any training request with… “Sure, we can help you with that…but let us ask you a few questions first.” And then we dig for the roots and assess readiness for what may be indicated as a solution.
