Oops, I hit send too soon. Now that it’s the holiday season, I’m wondering how your use of protocols impacts how you engage with others outside of your professional lives? Perhaps around the holiday table when a family member makes a comment that fills you with feelings one way or another. How do you draw on your learning in facilitation to engage in this moments?
Michelle, I love this prompt. I think about the Calling In podcast from Loretta J. Ross, she talked us through if we do not have the emotional healing and wellness to be aware of our visceral reactions, we may not be ready to engage from an educator’s intention. The steps of recognition, mindfulness, refocus, and reengaging curiosity is an internal protocol I try to engage and utilize.
So great to reflect on… protocol skills have shaped my thinking in so many contexts. I find I pause, offer think time, demonstrate a lot more grace in my personal life recognizing how helpful it is to give think time and ask good questions to resolve sticky moments and keep conversation flowing socially.
I love how you capture the power of honing protocol skills in two sentences! The pause time is really key followed by the skill of asking powerful questions. So, so good.
