Cultivating Critical Feedback

A poor application of Discipline #3: Cultivating Critical Feedback

Empathy

I have finished Chapter 12.  It is a consideration of how we can create relationships which support the transformation of others.  One of the qualities we have to create if we want to help others grow is that of empathy or compassion.  There are stages to the growth of compassion.  We start with actually being turned off by the problems of the other and only grow to genuine ability to connect and support the other.  I came across this comic and it really speaks to those early stages.

[from My Cage]  More on the stages at compassion.

Finishing touches

Work on the book Just Conflict nears completion.  We will be finishing a draft for publication of a single copy to get a feel for what it is like in the hand and to the eye.  I am confident we will have a book for sale by mid-October.
