The Threshold Check: 4 Questions Before You Announce Change

Before you write a single word of your next announcement, run it through four questions.

Most announcements fail before anyone reads them — not because the change is wrong, but because the door was never actually open. People were told a change exists. They weren't told how to walk through it.

The Threshold Check is a short worksheet built around four questions: who exactly has to walk through this door, whether what you're offering is an invitation or a pathway, what's already true on this side of the threshold, and who crosses first — and what's waiting for them when they do.

There's room here to actually answer them, not just read them.

This is the same lens I use in Beyond the Threshold: A Practicum in Human-Scale Change — link it to your course or Lightning Lesson page here, so this becomes the doorway in rather than a dead end.
