Welcome to your first session in the area of Acceptance, a key to greater inner peace. This is the fifth week of the 12-week Program you are being certified to lead: Revolutionary Agreements: Enriching Relationships from the Boardroom to the Bedroom.
Looking forward to seeing you in our virtual living room.
Objective:
After this session, you will be able to notice if you begin to compare, analyze, or judge the person who is speaking – and shift focus to listen fully to hear him or her. You will be able to use the Facilitator’s Guide to guide others to do the same.
We will practice:
- Listening without judging, analyzing or comparing
- Listening from a place of acceptance
- Distinguishing between acceptance and agreement
Prior to this session:
- Read Chapter on Agreement Five: I agree to listen with my heart.
- Complete the Focus on Today exercises at the end of the chapter. Record your responses in your journal.
After this session:
- Meet with your buddy at your regularly scheduled time between sessions. Ask each other: How is practicing this Agreement expanding your ability to accept others?
- Capture your Insights on this form. Either you or your buddy can do this for both of you.
