First week: extremely assertive. Then a void-like honesty I didn't expect from C&C.

Usually I do my best to be as specific as possible with my reviews, so anyone can understand real, day to day experiences. This one is going to be bit different.
I have been running C&C since launch: 1 min loop first week and 3 mins after.
Previous stack: GLM / BL
Original HOM program was the program that took the most to see it in action:
- within a week, extremely assertive in my communication.
- week 2: personal relationships improving due to increased empathy and laid back communication style
- week 3: planning
- week 4: planning and long term strategising
C&C thoughts
- sharp decrease in overall confidence / verbal fluency and just presence when discussing with C level people. Wrapping up one of the worst business trips in a long time. I would describe my state as "lifeless". Sounds like recon?
- I miss the way I was positioning myself every discussion. Let's say discussing bad numbers with someone from my team: while the discussion was around numbers, I always put first the outcome I want of the discussion instead of the "truth of the numbers". Not the case with C&C, the numbers tell the story and I have a really hard time not to go straight to the point (very emperor like)
- I did start to spend time (even during travels) to consider alternative revenue streams for the future
- overall a "void" type of feeling, reluctance to socialize even in a business context
I definitely miss the "relationship first" mindset that, curiously always translated into good for business and also good for me personally. For me that was the core benefit of running HOM.
I will continue with the program as is for another cycle, but so far it does feel like a completely different sub than original HOM.
