Oct 20, 2026, 1:15 AMDay 1 of leadership retreat: DONE.
First, I am an *awesome* facilitator.
Yes, I brag.
I got the team to go through a really difficult scenario planning convo with good results and without getting bogged down in wild blue sky theorizing based on vibes.
One team member grabbed the absolute worst case scenario and gave a sobering sketch of what we need and what we don't have as an organization in the face of a full-throated authoritarian assault. It was a super helpful process.
She used her personal experience as a refugee from El Salvador to give us a hard look into what really happens to orgs like ours. It was deep.
I'm going to pick up Benson from daycare and eat ice cream for dinner.
Tomorrow -- Day 2.
