About the event
What does clarity and compassionate accountability look like?
- Facing rather than avoiding conflict for the long-term benefit of all
- Working with and through difficult emotions with skill, care, and connection
- Practicing compassion toward others as well as oneself
- Understanding the stories we live by and evaluating their relevance — or irrelevance
- Learning to listen and lead in ways that align with one’s mission and values with a focus on more meaning,
- Connection, and effectiveness
- Turning communication breakdowns into breakthroughs that foster win-win results for all
Yet finding clarity is only the first step. We also need to work cooperatively to take effective action and solve the crucial problems facing us.
How? Practice!
During this mini-workshop we will explore seven core practices for integrating clarity within our lives:
1. Be Curious Not Furious
2. Drop The Story
3. Listen For Understanding
4. Mind The Gaps
5. Cultivate A Clear Vision
6. Turn Breakdowns Into Breakthroughs
7. Don’t Wait
