Backstory Behind Stephanie and Guest

Jaime and I got connected via our mutual friend, Jadah. I knew when I first spoke to Jaime that we were strongly connected through some of the same values and beliefs. Jaime is a great listener and communicator. She can express her views passionately with tremendous sensitivity to others people’s perspective. She is a natural “Re-framer.” I look forward to following her work and growing our friendship. – Stephanie Michele

Stephanie stated two social challenges this week — Still encouraging starting an offline group. See details here from last show’s social challenge.

Also try to use re-framing principles in conversations.

  1. Try to take on the characteristics of someone else to approach the topic from a different perspective
  2. Explore new questions about the situation.
  3. Approach the topic from a new point of entry.  Example: reserve engineer it from the worst case scenario or desired outcome.
