Why We Hold Back: The Quiet Self-Censorship
A 60-minute session on the things we stop ourselves from saying: in the family group, at the dinner table, to friends, to the people we love. Is holding back respect and good sense, or a habit that slowly costs us our voice? Twelve independent cards; open three or four.
How we do this
Be respectfulDisagree with the point, never the person.
Raise your hand to speakSo nobody has to talk over anybody.
Keep it shortSay the thing, then let the next person in.
Discussion is encouragedReply to each other, not just to the question.
Tangents are allowedIf the room follows it, it is the discussion.
This is a safe spaceWhat is said here stays in the room.
