Communication reflection zone

Hi there 

I’ve been reflecting on an interaction I had yesterday and want to request a communication reflection zone. 

Listeners can chat 1-1 when they have miscommunications and it would be wonderful if members too could have that.

We could set it up as this only two individuals that did have that miscommunication can chat without others reading or replying to it. 

It helps people can chat privately and figure out together what went wrong. 

Rule can be the person needs to listen to the other person 5 minutes uninterrupted. 

“I’m sorry because…

“Here is what went wrong, and here is what I’d do”

Please share thoughts  on this

shout-out to this excellent video here - it’s about giving the person five minutes to talk

I do agree that there are many miscommunications and alot of bigger personalities can do all the talking and nothing gets resolved 🩷

One thing that’s worked in the past has been to find a room that isn’t active, invite someone to perhaps be a third neutral person to help if things start to get hot again, and have the conversation/discussion needed. Agree ahead of time on listening while the other is speaking. The neutral person functions as a sort of mediator, and anyone can stop the discussion to reconvene at a later time when all have cooled off, if it’s something difficult and too triggering.
