Agenda for non-defensiveness part 2 workshop: have your say
Hey VIPs, here's the agenda for our next workshop (this evening), let me know if there's anything you want to add
Mental barriers - how to overcome...
  • Responses don’t come to you quickly / need time to process
  • Fall into the defensiveness trap without realising
  • Start cool, but gradually escalate
  • Background stress makes you sensitive
  • Think "If I don’t address this now, bigger problems later" (reputation, precedence, expectations)
  • Rumination (your response bothers you long afterwards)
  • Attached to accuracy / need to correct their “truth” / teach them a lesson
  • Caring too much what they think
Practical tips
  • Non defensive (unreactive) vs defensive (try to convince them)
  • Assertive (enforce boundaries) vs aggressive (controlling)
  • The pause
  • Stare down
  • Cold shoulder,
  • Change topic
  • “Oh you!”
  • Agree that THEY believe it
  • Yup
  • Double down
  • Ask them to repeat it
  • Curious about motives
  • Confusion about their morality
  • Advanced tricks
