Starting the day off at #rebootab by having a convo with a stranger about “what it means to be an Albertan.”
Is it easy or hard to make your dreams come true in Alberta? To affect change?
Next topic of discussion is exactly where we started our pair share discussion: What does it mean “to be listened to?” Is listening about reaching consensus? I don’t think there is much that will get 100 per cent consensus. So what is the goal of listening?
If you do the majority of the talking, you’re not listening, you’re broadcasting.
I’m reminded about my earlier tweet (if you’re talking more than anyone else you’re not listening) and finding it ironic … The @AlbertaParty members are talking more than anyone while talking about The Big Listen. I know this isn’t the intention.
