Preparing for your first Ally session
The first session sets the tone for everything that follows. Ten minutes of preparation is usually enough. Here is a light framework.
Write down three things
What are you here for? Write it in one sentence. What would "well spent" look like in three months? One sentence. What are you nervous about telling a stranger? One sentence.
Open the cabinet ten minutes early
Sign in, join the video pre-room, check camera and microphone. Wear headphones. Close the other tabs.
Bring one honest thing
The session is worth more if you say the awkward thing early. It shortens the arc.
