Fundamentals of Authentic Relating – Assumptions and Curiosity

As human beings we are assumption making machines.
Although crucial to help us make sense of a complex world whilst preserving our time and energy, when left unchecked, assumptions can get in the way of relationships as our minds tend to jump to conclusions, fill in the blanks, and assume we know what someone means.

This workshop is an invitation to discover what becomes possible when we stop relating to our story of someone and start relating to the actual person in front of us by using one of the most powerful relational tools we have, our own curiosity. When we use it well, conversations become richer, misunderstandings dissolve, and bonds deepen.

Through playful, insightful and connecting exercises, we will experiment with how it feels to replace “I know” by “I wonder” and:

• Bring more awareness to how much we assume and how it feels when people assume things about ourselves
• Learn how to notice our assumptions and check them out skillfully
• Build our curiosity muscle
• Be interested to make conversations more interesting
• Find the topics that are of interest to everyone involved
• Learn to ask questions that invite depth
