What the hell do I do now!

I had a wonderful workshop with the South Florida group of SIM, on October 23rd. It was the first application of the SHD Reframing Process on resolving conflict.

Elizabeth Decker led the session by replacing my usual presentation on the Reframing Process with an engaging interview. I must say, I felt that this was a more natural way to present the Reframing Process than by PowerPoint slides.

Thanks, Elizabeth.

There were some has during the workshop. One was that when one views Equity as what one Sees and Inclusion as what one feels, then one looks at conflict somewhat differently.

In fact, it became clear that before we can embark on finding a ‘Better Problem to Solve’ we have to examine the alignment between the Desired Outcome and the Problem Statement.

I was quite impressed by the engagement of the group and how rapidly they grasped and applied the Reframing concepts.

Unfortunately, we did not have time to delve deeply into the second case. It was, however, quite impressive that the group immediately realized that the case had at least three layers of conflict and thus selecting ‘a Better Problem to Solve’ required discussing which layer offered the best opportunity for a Reframe.

I learned as much as the attendees did in this workshop.

Thank you, SIM
