Thanks for sharing Kacey! I have an article below that has been shared in my closest circles and has been elevated to the heads of many agencies, companies,etc. as they prepared statements to the public on recent events. Although it may not be as directly helpful filled with tips and conflict-neutralizing techniques, I do think it is worthwhile to understand one particular perspective that may resonate with many.

Again, I shy away from claiming that the article represents ALL as a singular black voice but it may lend the words to inspire curiosity, acceptance, loving compassion and motivation (CALM) when engaging in intentional or unintentional high stakes conversations. The MO can only serve to be challenged, recalibrated, outfitted, and finessed to encounter a wealth of scenarios, people and communities.

That’s my two cents, for what it’s worth.

Take care,
Rhea

 Dear ToK society,

I found this to be a helpful article on receiving feedback, both in general, and during these trying times.

I am open and curious to hear any thoughts others may have both around giving and receiving feedback and around creating systems of consultation and collaboration at this time.
