Family Council, Sundays at 5pm

  • Comments Off on Family Council, Sundays at 5pm

Welcome back. You belong here.

This one is not on innovation, but on something deeper, on my amazing life with my wife and children and Family Council, so maybe it is on innovation, communication and collaboration after all.

We just finished Family Council, and it was amazing, one of the best ones in a long time. What is FC?

My wife and I, and our three children, 10, 7.5 and 5.5 all talk for 1.5 hour, I know pretty unheard of, but it’s true. We have an “emotions” sheet with about a hundred emotions on it and some (not all) of us use it to answer the transcendent question “how do you feel?”

We do that for a while, all of us involved, asking questions of each other, commenting, processing out loud (even our 5.5 year old boy). Today we had laughter and even tears, we felt very close to each other.

We do this every Sunday night and then we have popsicles!

Have a great day.

Into the future,
