SessionThree009

but I've never done anything like this before!
Dwayne Phillips

Imagine you are at work, and a person who you respect asks you to do something unexpected that is different from anything you have done before. The task is far outside your experiences. What is your response? Do you blurt out, "but I've never done anything like this before!" Do you say that to yourself? Are you still breathing?

This session will explore the feelings, thoughts, and actions that occur when confronted with an unusual or unexpected situation.

Learning objectives: At the end of the session, I hope the participants will be better able to say,

1. I am not the only person who has ever been asked to do something different and unexpected.
2. I can accept what comes with trying something different and unexpected.
3. I can say no.
4. I am able to ask myself why I would or would not want to try something different and unexpected.
5. I can be congruent when I am in a different and unexpected situation.

Prerequisites: Willing to participate in different and unexpected situations, but not sight unseen. Everyone participant will be told the situation and have the choice of saying yes or no.
