What is Relational Practice?
Is the humane process of respectful, compassionate and authentic

It requires personal disclosure, the person must be open to be in “the
moment”
Skills of Relational Practice
Let it be – don’t act to seek change. Use techniques that demonstrate “presence”.(eye contact, touch)Listening – hearing, not judging, not directing, no dominating. Wait your turn.Observe what is going on with the person speaking, how is that affecting you?Look for meaning – beyond the surface. Intentionality. Identify with family for the greater understandingReimage the actual person/group.

Introvert vs. Extrovert
IntrovertsFeel
comfortable in thinking before they
talk and contemplate
before sharing ideas.
ExtrovertsEnjoy fast-
paced conversations and quick exchanges of partially
formed ideas.
Introverts
Use fewer and more measured words when speakingPrefer not to share ideas until fully formedTend to not respond quickly to questions, because they wait to give their best answers.
Extroverts
Extroverts get excited about their ideas and do their best work when allowed to talk them through to conclusion.
These people feel comfortable in sharing ideas to get the reactions of others.
This does not mean they believe what they say “devils advocate.”
Introverts : The Giraffe can only reach the tender leaves by sticking its neck out.
Extroverts – just a thought
It has been estimated that we have 1500 thoughts per
day!
There is no need to share everyone
Success
Success is knowing
the difference between cornering
people and getting them in
your cornerBill Copeland

examples of when individuals have surrendered to the power of a group to be loyal and smooth things over?
