Meetings Matter! by Karen McGrath https://padlet.com/ksheakshea/MeetingsMatter Master Effective Conversations en-us 2017-11-06 22:37:46 UTC 2017-11-07 22:32:14 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/prod/1663011/847322658d104afb5e5b7bc470eba486/mc.png Karen&Grace ksheakshea https://padlet.com/ksheakshea/MeetingsMatter/wish/204153596 AGREE&ASPIRE: Listening shows interest & caring
Attention and caring are tightly connected. If you pay attention while someone is speaking- they interpret it as you care
Conversely, if you keep typing or attending to something else when someone is sharing, they interpret it as you don't care
From pg 29]]> 2017-11-06 22:46:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ksheakshea/MeetingsMatter/wish/204153596 Rayna's Reflection https://padlet.com/ksheakshea/MeetingsMatter/wish/204169233 Not everyone uses their device to be distracted. Sometimes people use it to take notes or look things up during a meeting. It is also important to remember the power of perception. We all come at things with different angles. ]]> 2017-11-07 00:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ksheakshea/MeetingsMatter/wish/204169233 Dan' Inspiration From Eileen https://padlet.com/ksheakshea/MeetingsMatter/wish/204610539 Listening matters!

It is critical to be in the moment with others.

Loved the quote:
"The meaning of your communication is the response it elicits."

Made me think about the people who do these things well and why. ]]> 2017-11-07 22:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ksheakshea/MeetingsMatter/wish/204610556 Kim and Jackie https://padlet.com/ksheakshea/MeetingsMatter/wish/204610950 I agree that listening shows interest and caring.  Attention and caring are tightly connected.  If you pay attention to someone that is speaking they will know that you care.  
I do not agree when the author says I have not spent much time reflecting on or building competence with every day conversations. I do think I focus on everyday conversations that make up most of my life.
I want to aspire to make sure that words and conversations shape how we think about ourselves and the world. Kim]]> 2017-11-07 22:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ksheakshea/MeetingsMatter/wish/204610950 Kims (not sure how to add to Rayna's) https://padlet.com/ksheakshea/MeetingsMatter/wish/204612314  
Author assumes that all parties in a conversation are level with abilities & how they view selves in the hierarchy of participants involved in conversations

What do you Agree with in the text?

I agree that the 4 Cs are keys to constructive conversations that lead to productive and meaningful outcomes for all parties.

What do you want to Argue with in the text?

I do not believe we have exclusive control or responsibility over another person’s receipt or perception of what or how we say something.  

What parts of the text do you want to Aspire to?

 Make an effort and assume inclusion

Agree: True listening is a skill that takes time and effort; needs practicing in our digital world where multi-tasking is the norm
Candor is essential for open, honest communication to take place
Argue: Both parties really are responsible for making sure what was communicated was communicated clearly...]]> 2017-11-07 22:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ksheakshea/MeetingsMatter/wish/204616596
