Fall Re-norming: Modeling Power Sharing

Updated: Oct 11, 2023


Aaron Barlin and Maris Harmon hold their Fall 2023 re-norming and power sharing meeting to reflect on communication styles and decision-making protocol

🍂 As we approach the beginning of our fall break and the end of another exciting chapter of collaboration, Aaron and Maris wanted to share a reflection activity to mark these milestones: dialogic norm revision. 🌱


Even in "just" a duo, we must be cognizant of mutually reciprocal expectations, power sharing, and culturally responsive communication. 🤝


When our next chapter of collabs begins, how will we reapproach...

🌸 our compassionate culture of "calling in" rather than "calling out"?

⏭️ strategic planning of next steps and considerations?

🎨 synthesis and exploration of ideas and simultaneous truths?

➗ divisions of time and emotional labor intrinsic to DEI and coaching?

🌃 resting from work so that we model fuller, more holistic living?


These reflections comprise a vital step towards maintaining partnership—and something we model for folks hoping to achieve similarly open cultures! 💛
