    Cover of The Second Question — Slide deck

    Five habits, one hour, and eighteen minutes of it spent practising the bit nobody practises — the four seconds of silence, and the question that comes after the answer.

    The session is two files. The **slide deck** is what the room watches — thirty one screens timed to the hour. The **facilitator pack** is what the person at the front holds: the run sheet, the handout, the cards the staff work from, and the follow-up. One is no use without the other, and neither needs anything made.
