Responding vs Reacting with Laura Cootsona
This week my dear friend, Laura Coostona and I unpack the idea of responding vs reacting when facing conflict or tension. When we inevitably experience conflict in our teams or relationships, the temptation for many of us is to react. We go on the defense, or sometimes even the offense. But what if we paused?... Pausing gives us the chance to have a measured response and give grace to the person we're having challenges with. Laura and I talk about how the seven practices in my book, Grace Space, really lean on that pause. Listen in as we give you some practical language to use when facing tensions that require heavy doses of grace for everyone involved. Including yourself!
Laura Cootsona operates a collaborative consulting firm called Good|Well Consulting. Laura is a founding board member of the Camp Fire Collaborative and lives in Chico, CA with her husband and two daughters. You can find Laura on LinkedIn.
