Look for content and conditions a. what and why b. dual-process2. Look for safety problems a. fear and anger b. be curious not angry or frightened3.

  8. Master My Stories • To stay in dialogue you need to stay in charge of your emotions. • Telling a story is the mostimportant step • stories arethe interpretation of the facts • stories explain the why, how, and what of a situation • if we take control of our stories, they won’t control us • Avoid the three “clever” stories • Victim • Villain • Helpless

  9. To master your stories ask the following questions: • 1. Am I in some form of silence or violence? • 2. What emotions are encouraging me to act this way? • 3. What story is creating these emotions? • 4. What evidence doI have to support this story? • 5. What would a reasonable, rational, and decent person do? • 6. What do I really want? • 7. What would I do right now, if I really wanted these results?

  10. STATE My Path • How to Speak Persuasively, Not Abrasively • The more important the discussion, the less likely we are to be on our best behavior. • The best at dialogue speak their minds completely and do it in a way that makes it safe for others. They are both totally frank and completely respectful.

  11. The best at dialogue carefully blend confidence, humility, and skill. • To talk about the most sensitive of topics you need to: • Start with the Heart • And • Master your Story

  12. Once you have worked on yourself you can use the “STATE My Path” strategy. S hare your facts T ell your story A sk for others’ paths T alk tentatively E ncourage testing

  13. S hare your facts • Facts are: • least controversial • are most persuasive • least insulting • T ell your story • It takes confidence to be honest • Don’t pile it on • Look for safety problems- use contrasting

  14. A sk for others’ paths • show our humility by asking others to share their facts and stories • our goal is to learn rather than be right • be willing to abandon or reshape your story • T alk tentatively • Be tentative, not wimpy • Soften talk. Instead of, “The fact is” say “In my opinion” • Encourage testing • invite opposing views • mean it • play devil’s advocate

  15. Let’s Practice 1. Divide into 5 groups2. Read the scenario3. Use the STATE strategy to create a dialogue you may have with a new teacher4. Share with whole group
