Roadmap

Noticing.

The observer you are.

Mindfulness & pause practice.

Listening at level one and level two.

Open-ended questions.


Listening & curiosity: As you

listen to others & you hear

differences from your way of

other. Try to understand

what the other is saying. Be

curious about the difference.

Let the difference stand.

Reflection on Noticing

Pair up with a partner.

Discuss your day, yesterday, with your partner:

–  What events occurred? –  Who did you meet? –  What did you notice about your physical

surroundings? –  What did you notice about your thoughts &

feelings? –  What did you notice about others thoughts &

feelings around you? Without judging yourself, on a scale of 1 (noticed little) to 10 (noticed everything), how much did you notice yesterday (today)?

Centrality of Noticing to Change

The range of what we

think and do is limited by

what we fail to notice.

And because we fail to

notice that we fail to

notice, there is little we

can do to change; until

we notice how failing to

notice shapes our

thoughts and deeds.


R. D. Laing (1927-‐1989)
