📋 What it is
A master solver reads the type, picks the right tool, questions assumptions, and stays calm and playful.
🗣️ Coach says
The final skill ties it together: recognise the TYPE, reach for the matching tool, question your assumptions, and stay playful — a relaxed mind spots the twist a frustrated one misses. Wit is patience plus the right tool plus a light touch.
