Weekly Culture of Values Focus

Education, Knowledge

Nov 3rd to Nov 9th ’24

Definition of Friendship:

Definition of Friendship

Friendship is hanging out with others regularly, like your classmates.  It can also be a long-term friendship with someone you trust and have shared values and experiences.   


Consideration can only be truly achieved through the ability to balance the actions of listening and speaking equally.

COV’s Value observances in Nov to date :

Friendship

Peace, Clarity, Understanding & Resolution can only authentically be achieved through leadership training in the skills of listening and speaking

Dialogue and Listening are needed to have a balanced conversation of meaning. This balance brings success and achievement for all in relationships equally. When someone speaks they are leading the conversations and the listener is following. To have equality the speaker becomes the listener. This means the listener becomes the speaker. Leadership is a balance of giving and receiving in dialogue.


This pattern was developed from a talking circle.  The format was to go around and ask each participant what the focused value word meant to them.  Sometimes a definition from the dictionary was read out first.  People often did not know the definition meaning.  ‘Renee Lindstrom’

Definition of Listening:

Listening is an action of hearing the sounds in the surroundings.  This includes other people’s voices. Hearing what others are saying is a way to get to know what is important to them and to learn from them. 

Remember Dialogues definition from last week:

Dialogue is a conversation with others that increases understanding, addresses problems, and questions thoughts and actions.

Dialogue and Listening are needed to have a balanced conversation of meaning. This balance brings success and achievement for all in relationships equally. When someone speaks they are leading the conversations and the listener is following. To have equality the speaker becomes the listener. This means the listener becomes the speaker. Leadership is a balance of giving and receiving in dialogue.

Nonverbal communication – Happy Expressions

View these facial expressions and notice what happens inside you!

Imagine telling a child (or anyone) you are happy without any of these facial clues.

Now consider how you use the word happy.  Are you honestly expressing happiness because you have happy sensations in the moment or are you incorrectly using it to get your way  by saying – I am happy that you, she, he, they……

How do you learn? Where do your emotions and thoughts come from?

.  You are borne into an environment

This is how a culture is formed!  

.  You have the INHERENT ability to learn INDEPENDENTLY stimulated and shaped by your environment

summer-620x349

First learning is inspired through movement! 

If your environment is safe, open and free your thoughts, emotions, movements and  behavior will reflect these qualities.  You will likely be more flexible in your actions.  However if your environment is a prison filled with hate and poverty your thoughts and behavior will reflect these qualities!  You will likely be more conservative and restricted in your actions.

The good news is you never stop learning!  You have the ability to change your own conditions through awareness techniques and skill building that will create the environment for your own future generations!  Change the future by shifting the past, now in conscious presence.

Make a difference.  It begins with you!  

Why?  836996

To go beyond the imposed constraints and false emotional realities,  

To support a healthier culture that cares for themselves, others and the planet equally.  

To live as though values matter, 

By speaking your values creating autonomy

and valuing others values equally creating interdependence!  

To use gravity effectively to attain balance, consider your bones as the structure of support in the design of your body, and values as the structure of support in your relationships.

Evaluative Experience Words, not Feelings

 

Betrayed

Word map of feeling words mixed together with evaluative experience words & value words sometimes mixed up in sentences as words that one feels 

At  Speaking Peace workshops we introduce words that are sometimes mistaken as feelings.  These words are actually evaluative experiences that are added in our statements after the words, “I feel…..,”  or “I felt….” Our workshop exercise is to identify the true emotion and consider the unmet need creating these feelings.

An example is the word betrayed.  I feel betrayed is an incorrect use as betrayed is not a feeling.   It describes an experience.  The feelings one might feel may be hurt, downhearted, wretched, devastated, discourages, lonely and more (see photo above for more).

Once true feelings are named our speaking peace process is to look at the unmet value needs that make be causing these feelings. These could be the need for:  respect, honesty, consideration, to matter, trust, support and more (see photo for more).

Consider our Speaking Peace courses and workshop!  Learn more about how to connect with more clarity, understanding and empathy!
