Love the tools! I will be downloading your PDF to help me with coaching upward. I’d like to suggest that your revamped observations on the marshmallow test may have some additional influences. You mentioned privilege being one of them, perhaps also high on the level of influence could be training and parental influence. It does not require wealth or social stature to influence children to be open to being well taught and well disciplined.
