We can navigate our relationships at work authentically & compassionately with mindsets & practices from Creative Empathy for Leadership.
This is the basis for the Beyond Design round table session that just wrapped up at Hike One, hosted by Sanne and facilitated by yours truly 😃
We discussed how the most crucial of our work relationships are with ourself, our team, and our stakeholders.
We talked about how regulating the nervous system is the quickest & simplest way to navigate the relationship with ourselves. And we practiced some conscious breathing techniques to stimulate our parasympathetic nervous system via the vagus nerve.
We shared thoughts about how creating psychological space allows us to bring #empathy into the relationship with our team. And we swapped stories of how nonviolent communication shifts our relationships with stakeholders from heavy to human.
As preparation for the session, I wrote a blog post outlining the specific mindsets and practical techniques involved. So here it is.
Enjoy!
Thanks for your hospitality, Sanne! And thanks to everyone in the session for your engagement, vulnerability, and courage.
May all your relationships be happy, peaceful, free, and unconditionally loving 🙏🏼

A: Hey kid, how was your first day of school? What subjects will you have?
B: Oh, it was so cool. Our main subjects will be #SocialPedagogy, #GroupDynamics, #PsychoEducation, #TraumaPedagogy and #NonViolentCommunication besides #Inclusion and #Diversity, which we started with today.
Other than that we'll have #ClimateJustice, #BlackHistory, #QueerFeminism, #anarchism, #RiotTraining, #solidarity, #degrowth, #PermaCulture, #ReduceRefuseRepair and a few others.
Didn't you always tell me school didn't teach you anything for real life? Well it's not like that anymore. -

I believe strongly in Non-Violent Communication as a framework for life.
One aspect of that is telling someone that their actions aren't meeting your needs in a way that is non-violent, such as "When you show up thirty minutes later than we said we'd meet, I feel frustrated because my need for respect, and safety aren't met. Can you give me your word that you'll show up on time from now on?"
The other person doesn't have to respond positively to your strategy, but if they don't, or get angry or respond in some other way that doesn't meet your need, then the onus is on you to decide what to do.
It moves control for getting your needs me from the other person back to you, and while that can be difficult at first, it's ultimately very empowering.

I'm so grateful that years ago, I learned Non-Violent Communication.
While I'm not always able to do it, or always able to do it well, being able to put on my "giraffe ears" is a crucial skill not only in personal relationships, but it can be in business as well.
Understanding the needs of others, whether they're collaborative partners, potential customers, suppliers, or staff, can make a huge difference. It shifts problematic actions away from "Ugg they're so annoying" or "Why won't they just do what we want?" to "I wonder what need of theirs isn't being met that's leading to this communication from them?"
By understanding the needs behind the words, we can bring empathy and care where there was only annoyance and frustration.

Talk about who's being targeted and the ways bad policies affect real people. "I feel bad for the refugees here legally who've been threatened by their neighbors and by politicians, like the Haitians in Springfield." Or "I feel terrible for the 26,000 women assaulted in Texas since abortions were effectively outlawed there who had to carry their attacker's child to term." Or "It seems wrong that trans kids and parents who have worked out treatments with their doctors are being told by more places that they can't get medical care anymore."
The more local you can make your statement, the better. Something in your own state, your own experience, or best of all, in your listeners' direct experience, the more powerful it will be. The farther away in time, distance, or familiarity, the harder it will be as an entry point to a real conversation.

I wrote about how I spent years not knowing how to talk about feelings, masculinity, and #NonviolentCommunication and the difference it has made in how I resolve conflicts with others.

Last night in our Nonviolent Communication study group we explored sincere gratitude - both giving and receiving.
It was a lovely module and I'm encouraged to more openly share with others when they have added beauty, care, understanding, compassion, joy to my life.
Speaking it out loud and connecting with those who create good in our worlds is critically important - now more than ever!

Imagine being Hated by Someone You Don't Know: 2of2
What kind of lesson are we teaching when we respond to creative expression with such aggressive judgment? What message does it send when we prioritize our own preferences to the point of silencing others? He is basically saying "You deserve to be censored because you have an animated AGI profile photo instead of your real-life photo." That's just rude!
Let's remember that online interactions, like any other, should be grounded in respect. We can disagree, we can have concerns, but we should always strive to communicate without resorting to personal attacks. If we are aiming to create a world where our children are able to create, then we must create a world where all are respected.

Imagine being Hated by Someone You Don't Know: 1of2
I saw a man declare in the Fediverse that they were blocking anyone using Studio Ghibli-style profile pictures because their daughter is learning to draw.
As a creative who uses AI to enhance my branding, including a Ghibli-inspired avatar for my Coffee With Crissy podcast, I was immediately labeled as an enemy. My passion for Miyazaki's films, a love I've carried for decades, was met with hostility. And I don't know this man but he's decided to hate me.
The irony of someone expressing concern for their daughter's artistic development while simultaneously spewing hateful words online is not lost on me.

Avoid defining reality
https://infighting.org/tools-and-practices/avoid-defining-realityThis is a common pitfall in dysfunctional relationships and volunteer groups with low relational competencies.
«We define someone’s reality when we communicate to them that we know what they think or feel better than they do. When we define someone’s reality, we believe and act as though we’re mind readers, as though we’re the expert on their experience.»
