People can't do a DON'T

Giraffe is not passive but asserts herself based on rational, mature reflection. The giraffe doesn't hide from conflict but confronts it with gentleness and strength

Giraffe is:

Emotionally intelligent

Giraffe

Not out to change others

Giraffe reflects on his/her inner world and does not blame external factors. He/she analyse own feelings in terms of thoughts, wants and wishes, and then says what he/she wants.

The metaphor of a giraffe with its head in the clouds clearly explains how looking above the thorny trees will help us to see the greener pastures...

The Jackal is only interested in his own interests.

Jackal

bhutton41 — 2016-03-11 11:24:34 UTC

looks outside itself, blames and demands that others fix things, rather than taking responsibility for changing situations

The giraffe has one of the biggest heart of any land mammal - would this indicate its ability to help others?

Jackal

Focusses on the immediate

bhutton41 — 2016-03-11 11:25:56 UTC

Masculine energy? (women can also have masculine energy)

Jackal

2016-03-11 11:25:59 UTC

Sees other people as the source of the problem.

Giraffe - Leon says:

2016-03-11 11:26:25 UTC

Giraffe ‘plays the ball, not the man’

Jackal

ayotolaaremu — 2016-03-11 11:26:41 UTC

judges people quickly and typifies them without trying to understand them

Giraffe

ayotolaaremu — 2016-03-11 11:27:49 UTC

ready for resolution, embraces conflict as positive

Jackals are not always bad...they can find opportunities too

Jackals

2016-03-11 11:28:14 UTC

See any interaction as win/lose solely from their perspective

Jackal - Diroubinee says:

2016-03-11 11:28:18 UTC

jackal is tricky and adventurous

Giraffes

2016-03-11 11:29:17 UTC

don't see other people gaining from an interaction being the same as them losing - any interaction can be a win/win!
