Reflection of the Month

Dear colleagues,

We look forward to our September “Reflection of the Month” (ROM) forum. In preparation for our September forum, please review:

When? CHANGED DATE! Because Tzofnat is attending a conference on the original date (September 26th), we will meet a week before on September 20th at 4 pm London/ 11 am ET/ 8 am PDT. Our apologies.

Who? It seems we are slowly but surely forming a community, and it is exciting. You are invited if you have not joined us yet and wish to try. We are consultants, facilitators, and 3rd party interveners advancing dialogue and constructive conflict engagement. For the long term, we are looking to build a permanent learning community to provide safe conditions for systematic and shared reflection. However, at this point, new members are welcome!

Why? We gather every other month for 90 minutes. We support one another in improving our professional work deepening human connections and nurturing meaningful relations of the heart, head, and hands in organizations and communities.

What? In September, we will continue our dialogue on how reflection may differ from Reflective Practice (RP)-what RP is and how it has been used in other fields to improve professionalism.

To deepen this conversation, we sent Tzofnat’s article, soon to be published in the Conflict Resolution Quarterly. The last part in the article is dedicated to reflective practice, while the first two examine the context of 3rd party intervention and research in cognitive psychology, expertise development, decision making, and skills acquisition to support RP. It may be helpful for some participants to read before our gathering. If you did not receive the article and/or wish to communicate with us directly, please reach out at inclusiveconflictintl@gmail.com

Reflective cases and experiences are most welcome for a shared reflection. 

The subsequent date will be November 29th.

We look forward to seeing you.

Yours,

Tzofnat Peleg-Baker and Jane Ball
