Feedback Day

We started the day with a Nonviolent Communication exercise called “Sometimes I….”

In this exercise, you place two chairs next to each other, facing the opposite way. It’s like sitting in a car together, except one person is facing backward. We all know the best conversations happen on roadtrips, right?

In the exercise, you take turns finishing a sentence that starts with “Sometimes I…” One person talks for three minutes, only finishing that sentence, and the other listens silently.

You can be silly “Sometimes I pretend to be supergirl” or serious “Sometimes I pretend I know what I’m doing.”

Then you switch, but with a new sentence.

• Sometimes I pretend…
• Sometimes I wish…
• Sometimes I’m afraid…
• “I wish people..”
• “I worry about…”
