In Process Coaching
Being in Space Substack and Podcast
Thirdness
The analytical third is a term for the intersubjective space co-created from the interplay of the unique subjectivities when people can show up in process.
A new type of community
A place to belong, but not fit in
A place to discover your creative surplus
All communities are transactional; all ask you to fit in. They are anchored in a specific economic *sport* (say Design), and don’t allow for anything that wants to expand the definition of design. You can never show up with new thoughts, ideas, or aspirations that don’t fit in. That will necessarily make the space transcational, because without confusion (which is creativity) all we have are products. We end up exchanging goods (links, books, tickets to shows) in front of the house, but are never allowed to go to the back of the house, where our embodied creativity is seeking daylight.
By allowing for belonging without the prerequisite of fitting in, we can give ourselves space to explore our creative surplus while helping others do the same.
Meets Mondays at 1 EST on Zoom, and collectively on a WhatsApp group.

Prompt Workshop
For example, what bores you?
Different people would have other answers. We can’t collaborate on what bores each person, only to ask why. When we do, we immediately shift to talk about meaning. We expand our communication container.
Briefs always lead to collaboration (with another person or knowledge). They are anchored in a situation and its physics. They must converge on a shared outcome.
For example, what is the secret of a work-life balance?
Experts will approach this from different angles, but the conversation must lead to a meeting where everyone shares their direct opinion.
Through Thirdness, Critical Business School, and Being in Space, I have developed prompts to bring people into meta-conversations and generative discourse spaces. I define generative value as one that persists after the conversation ends. Read more on the development of prompts.
The scale between prompts and briefs helps initiate and navigate leadership, creativity, and personal fulfillment, especially in light of the growing importance of AI and language models.
