Brian Pagán (he/they)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 🙏🏼
