Makes Perfect使完美
Let’s practice. Answer this typical improv question out loud for yourself, right now: “What is the purpose of warming up before a meeting or presentation?”
让我们练习。立即为自己大声回答这个典型的即兴问题:“在开会或演示之前进行热身的目的是什么?”
There are of course many ways to hit this piñata, and the “right”answer might incorporate some of the following: “The purpose of the warm-up is energy manipulation and getting into a better, more focused mental and physical space. We are going to treat our brains as muscles, and we are going to use a warm-up to get that muscle ready to function at peak capability by oxygenating it. The outcome will be raised levels of focus and concentration and increased speed of thought and adaptability so that we are all present in this moment. We are doing a warm-up so that when we move ahead to the task at hand we will be operating at high levels of awareness and engagement.”Now take a shot at answering some meatier questions out loud:
当然,有很多方法可以解决这个问题,“正确”的答案可能包括以下方面:“热身的目的是操纵能量并进入更好,更集中的精神和身体空间。我们将大脑视为肌肉,并且将通过热身使该肌肉通过充氧而达到最大功能。结果将提高集中注意力和专心程度,并提高思考速度和适应能力,以便我们每个人都在这一刻。我们正在做一个热身,以便当我们前进到手头的任务时,我们将在较高的意识和参与度下进行操作。”现在开始大声回答一些更棘手的问题:
1. “What is ‘Yes, and . . . ’?” What is the purpose of it? Why are we using it? For how long will we use it? What is the desired effect (the end goal)?
2. “What, if anything, is the difference between ‘Yes, and’ and ‘Yes, but’?”
1.“是的,是。。。'?”目的是什么?我们为什么要使用它?我们将使用多长时间?预期的效果(最终目标)是什么?
2.“'是'和'与'是,但是'之间的区别是什么?”
(For the record, asking and answering these basic questions is a great way to set up a divergent thinking or brainstorming session.)
(记录下来,提出和回答这些基本问题是建立分歧思维或集思广益会议的好方法。)
Once again, please speak your answers to these questions aloud,right now, even at the risk of drawing dirty looks from family members, fellow rail commuters, or other passengers on the airplane. I implore you, please commit to this.
再次,请立即大声说出您对这些问题的答案,甚至冒着家人,通勤的通勤者或飞机上其他乘客弄脏外表的风险。我恳求你,请遵守。
Some of the many appropriate responses might sound something like this:
许多适当的响应中的一些听起来像这样:
1. “Yes, and . . . ” is a technique for slowing the brain down, to be present and in the moment. “Yes, and” is a way to dramatically strengthen the skill set related to listening, focus and concentration, and engagement. It is a tool for postponing judgment and increasing adaptability. “Yes” indicates that you have heard what somebody else has said and have takentime to understand it. The “and . . . ” is the bridge to your own perspective and authentic voice in articulating how you understand what was said. “Yes, and” implies and creates inclusivity, flow, and momentum. It is an invitation. “Yes, and” is a connector for inclusivity that feels like it is pulling people into a conversation and an exchange of ideas. It is a statement that reflects a positive approach to relationship building.
1.“是,和。。。”是一种使大脑变慢,出现并在当下出现的技术。“是,并且”是一种显着增强与倾听,专注和专心以及参与相关的技能的方法。它是推迟判断和提高适应性的工具。“是”表示您已经听到别人说了什么,并且花了一些时间来理解它。“和”。。。”是您表达自己的观点和表达自己如何理解所讲内容的真实声音的桥梁。“是,并”暗示并创造包容性,流动性和动量。这是一个邀请。“是,并且”是包容性的连接器,感觉就像是在吸引人们进行对话和思想交流。该声明反映了建立关系的积极方法。
2. Conversely “Yes, but . . . ” feels like it is pushing people away. The “but . . . ” eliminates everything said before it. A “Yes, but” communication comes across as a restriction, a denial, a contradiction, or a deflection. Even when “Yes, but” is meant to express a positive attitude, it is rarely heard or understood that way. It feels like a negation, especially when it is delivered consistently, over time, or with volume and energy. “Yes, but . . . ”shuts people down and makes them feel defensive. “Yes, but” is essentially a condescending way of saying no.
2.相反,“是,但是。。。感觉就像是把人们推开了。“但是。。。消除了之前所说的一切。“是,但是”的沟通是一种限制,否认,矛盾或偏颇。即使“是,但是”是要表达一种积极态度,也很少有人会这样听或理解。感觉像是一种否定,尤其是当它持续交付,随着时间推移或伴随着体积和能量而交付时。“对,但是 。。。将人们拒之门外,使他们感到防御。“是,但是”本质上是拒绝的居高临下的方式。
If you like the sound of your own voice, keep going. Try vocalizing how you would lead a brainstorming session or a team collaboration.Push yourself to think about what you would actually say to coworkers to set up the proper framework for ideation or idea sharing. Be specific and explicit, as in this following swing at the piñata:
如果您喜欢自己声音的声音,请继续。尝试表达出如何进行头脑风暴会议或团队合作的声音。让自己思考一下您实际上会对同事说些什么,以建立适当的构想或想法共享框架。要明确而明确,如以下在piñata上的摆动:
“We’re going to do a warm-up, to loosen our inhibitions and get us energized for this meeting. Then we are going to split the meeting into two 20-minute sections. In the first section we will emphasize divergent thinking: how far can we get away from Point A (that is, your issue)? We are going to use ‘Yes, and’ to explore and explode as many ideas as possible. This is about the number of ideas we can come up with, not the number of good ideas. So no one is allowed to say ‘No,’ and no one is allowed to question, judge, or analyze for these first 20 minutes. The key here is to drive potential and endless possibilities. Fail early and fail often, for 20 minutes. We must all embrace this fully and be diligent with this task.
“我们将做一个热身,放松我们的束缚,让我们为这次会议充满活力。然后,我们将会议分为两个20分钟的部分。在第一部分中,我们将强调分歧的思维:我们离A点(即您的问题)能走多远?我们将使用“是,并且”来探索和扩展尽可能多的想法。这是关于我们可以提出的想法的数量,而不是好的想法的数量。因此,在最初的20分钟内,不允许任何人说“不”,也不允许任何人质疑,判断或分析。这里的关键是驱动潜在的和无限的可能性。提前失败,并经常失败,持续20分钟。我们都必须充分拥抱这一点,并认真地完成这项任务。
“Critical perspective will come in the second 20-minute section, when we will emphasize convergent thinking. At that time we will take the ideas we have produced in the first section and pick them apart, prioritize them, analyze them, question them, deconstruct them, and otherwise use our great critical thinking skills to come up with best ideas or viable solutions.”
“批判性观点将在第二20分钟的部分中介绍,我们将强调融合思想。到那时,我们将把第一部分中提出的想法分解开来,对它们进行优先排序,分析,质疑,解构,或者运用我们出色的批判性思维技巧提出最佳想法或可行的解决方案。 ”
