Episode 27 - Spotlight on Reframing with Stephanie Grunze-Swanson
This week we continue our series to reinvigorate our conflict resolution skills with a focus on reframing. We explore the techniques, ideas and spaces where reframes can be used to shift dialogue with Stephanie Grunze-Swanson.
Rapid City Community Conversations
Tammy Lenksi's Podcast - The Space Between
CD went on a bit about some perspective sculptures. While his example was maybe less than stellar in the moment, we did find one that was far more fitting.
Our challenge for you is to actively focus on Reframing this week. If you hear a bold statement on the radio or out in the world, challenge yourself to reframe it, even just in your head. We will be posting articles and reflective questions on facebook and twitter.
