Do you think better when thinking out loud? Do you want to harness this power more often?  What tends to get in the way?  Sometimes when you want to work out what to do by talking to someone, it can be difficult to have your thinking supported rather than pulled in other directions.  This workshop is about setting things up so that the power of listening can work its magic more effectively.

In this workshop, you can learn about different ways to engage in Teddy Bear Talk Support, a framework for benefiting from listeners who say very little that we'll call teddy bears. When a teddy bear does talk, it is because the talker has asked the teddy bear to do something small, like ask some open, honest questions or reflect some things back. Big changes can happen for the talker as a result of the little things the teddy bear might do or say to just “jiggle” things a bit for the talker.
