Likewise, I’ve been able to share some thoughts about things that people don’t usually think about that I may experience. It’s important to me to create a truly safe space, and to work together as a team. https://padlet.com/fcamarotti/3zja4nalw93hstog/wish/1071475120 2021-01-10 14:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/fcamarotti/3zja4nalw93hstog/wish/1071475120 willingness to participate and not assume things bur rather be open to learning new things https://padlet.com/fcamarotti/3zja4nalw93hstog/wish/1071475212 2021-01-10 14:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/fcamarotti/3zja4nalw93hstog/wish/1071475212 https://padlet.com/fcamarotti/3zja4nalw93hstog/wish/1071475348 Being respectful and listening to the other's perspective.

  • Smiling, because it encouraged other people as well

    I spent a lot of time listening and taking in what was being said, rather than listening to respond. In this particular conversation, my goal was to learn more about an identifier, and so I did not feel the need to insert my own experiences.

Rather than leaving the conversation to the workshop/event/etc, timing time to go deeper into the discussion and fully take in the various ideas raised during the formal discussion afterward was meaningful.
