Use exact copy: “Yes — Field Notes is a monthly newsletter. It’s a curated round-up: a short note, 2–3 recommended resources, and one practice prompt — with a Lead the Work lens (teams/orgs) and a Lift the Leader lens (individuals). You can unsubscribe anytime.”

It’s the outcome language. Instead of listing activities, we name what gets better—clarity, alignment, commitment, momentum, and the leadership capacity to sustain it.

Lab = focused working session to align decisions, commitments, and next actions. Sprint = multi-week engagement to build momentum, structure follow-through, and make change stick across cycles.
