Something that will allow people to name when challenges are coming up within the group or the structure is no longer working.

It can be used when we have maybe gone off topic, have spent too much time over a specific talking point, or need to table an item in times when we have other items to discuss/focus on or can't reach a consensus. A person will simply state "ELMO" for that identified moment.]]> 2021-09-24 00:03:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gsnider2/pg344gnccb8qm756/wish/1764263690 Step up and step down nashelihau https://padlet.com/gsnider2/pg344gnccb8qm756/wish/1800859116 Be aware of how much space you take up and be comfortable stepping up (sharing your voice/perspective) and also stepping down (allowing others to have room to share).]]> 2021-10-07 20:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/gsnider2/pg344gnccb8qm756/wish/1800859116 Listen to understand nashelihau https://padlet.com/gsnider2/pg344gnccb8qm756/wish/1800862078 Listening with the intent to understand helps others be less reactive, defensive or judgmental and instead be curious, ask clarifying questions and be open]]> 2021-10-07 20:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gsnider2/pg344gnccb8qm756/wish/1800862078 Active Listening - ESP via Zoom jacquelinecao https://padlet.com/gsnider2/pg344gnccb8qm756/wish/1803056138 Creating safe spaces don't only pertain to having an open mind. It has a lot do with our demeaner and how we show up for others. Creating a safe space can be as simple as nodding, using positive/reinforcing language, smiling, saying "ooo" and "ahhh"; basically engaging with our friends! For those who are more timid or feel intimidated when it comes to speaking up, these little acts of active listening can go the extra mile. ]]> 2021-10-08 17:38:22 UTC https://padlet.com/gsnider2/pg344gnccb8qm756/wish/1803056138
