Just want to reflect how well you demonstrate "compassionate curiosity" in your work Eric. My session with you was so helpful and drenched with it. I'm grateful.
I love this concept of a 90-degree view. In my world, I am dealing with people who are either homophobic or fully accepting of LGBTQ+, and very rarely in between. I realized the people in between are usually curious but too scared they're asking the wrong questions. I try to meet them as best as possible, and taking the 90-degree approach seems to be the way to go. Thanks Eric!
Thanks for sharing this Rebecca! We often go into fear or avoidance when something or someone is unfamiliar or unknown. It takes a dose of courage to overcome that, and - at least for me - I've found that when we start with a mindset of compassionate curiosity, the 90-degree approach is much easier to foster in oneself and in others.
