Dealing with Toxic People: Social Impact, Culture and Change Needed
A 60-minute session on how we deal with hurtful people together, not just one by one: the boss everyone tolerates, the elder nobody corrects, the new bride told to adjust, the family secret nobody tells, the video everyone shares. Does our silence keep the peace, or keep the bad behaviour going? And what would actually have to change? 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.
