Working definition
Presence without volunteering is a level — not absence, not disloyalty.
How it works
Marie-Aude pattern: fun projects trigger automatic yes and whiteboard grabs. Yann separates staying in the room from owning the ball. Each level has consequences for energy and identity (“perfect responder”).
Signature
The image is staying in the room without grabbing the ball — Marie-Christine on 2026-05-22: attended the work group fully, did not seize the project — logged as a Deliberate Practice win, not a failure.
More room passes mention this doctrine in replay narrative — search the Codex for Levels of Engagement or start from the latest entry on Weekly Sessions.
Grab the ball versus stay in the room — observe level is a deliberate win. Your move: Your move this week.
Your move this week
This week’s micro-action (24–72 hours):
- One meeting: choose observe / support / lead before it starts.
- If you chose observe, do not grab — log urge + outcome.
