Time Zone

Your awareness of where others are in their journey. The ability to meet people in their time, not just yours.

Lucy Kalanithi and Keeping Paul Real for Katie

High fit

Time Zone is the ability to meet people in their time, not just yours. Lucy Kalanithi made a deliberate choice not to push Katie toward Paul on Lucy's schedule. She put the books around the house. She answered questions when asked. She made a video album when Katie requested it. She said explicitly: 'I don't know when she's going to pick it up. I don't know what she's going to take.' She stayed in Katie's time zone rather than her own need to transmit Paul's story.
