A seconds-scale daily micro-practice for Inner Compass (VCoL collection): In the minute before entering a meeting or starting an interaction, pause and ask: 'How might I contribute to the common good here, not just my own interests?' Consider what would serve the team, the project, the organization, or wider stakeholders. Set a quiet intention to let this guide your participation. Practised many times a day, with a brief evening reflection, until the move becomes automatic.
