"As a SmoothTeam facilitator, I have had the opportunity to work with with many different types of clients, in many different situations. I have had the opportunity to been part of groups that have both laughed and cried. I think that the direction of emotion doesn't necessarily matter too much, it's just that you know it and you're allowed to show it. Emotions are about talking about things that matter."
Everyday working life is often focused on getting things done. There is rarely time to stop and acknowledge your own feelings. What kind of tasks have I I am most at home in? What do I enjoy? What kind of tasks or situations make me stress me out? Against this background, it is clear that the questions are not being considered from the perspective of other members of the work community. In my work gratitude for the opportunity to lead people through important important conversations. Great moments are when I hear someone in the game: "Really? I didn't know that about you! Can we work together more in the future?" For example, in one customer group the game led to a discussion about creativity and linguistic expression. It turned out that the person in charge of financial management would really enjoy it if to have the opportunity to play around with linguistic creativity in their work sometimes as a counterbalance challenges requiring linguistic creativity. At the end of the discussion, a small working community had found herself a pair of sparring partners.
I experience moments of success especially when a group of clients the conversation evolves as if by itself on issues that are relevant to them. for them. It's rewarding when someone gets to say it out loud, that they don't actually like a role they have been assigned in the work community. Or someone with a twinkle in their eye describes aspects of themselves that and skills that have hitherto only been realised through their hobbies. through his or her hobbies. It is not always necessary for the work community to find the right person to be successful. solutions. Sometimes all it takes for better well-being and interaction is is to understand each other better. What's stressing you out, does not necessarily burden me at all, and vice versa. After all diversity is what makes our everyday life and our working community enriches our work and our community.
I have also received a lot of perspectives from clients, on which my thinking is my mind. What are the implications if the job role and and leisure time are perceived as very different? For example in my work role I can do certain things or have a certain attitude or deal with situations in a certain way, but in my free time I experience things differently. Is the situation stressful in the long term? Or does it just bring life enriched by the fact that at work and in my free time I can show and express different sides of yourself? I don't know. Fortunately, I don't have to to have answers. Reflection together often gives things the best perspective. And for each individual, the "right" answer is also likely to be different. Often a good question is worth more than even the best answer.
What are your experiences, my fellow SmoothTeam facilitator, with have you had? Would you like to share a moment that was meaningful to you either a SmoothTeam simulation or another tool situation you facilitated with another tool? Tell us about it on the blog in the comments section!
