Big Concept 1
Every message
has a relational dimension
and
a content dimension
Would you please help
me with this?
Picture pages exercise:
It’s been a bad day at the library. Someone poured an entire bottle of glue in the bookdrop overnight, and it just got worse from there. You spent 15 minutes listening to an irate patron. The printer is working intermittently. All of the things on your list for today – including preparation for a board meeting– just
flew out the window…and now you’re going to be late for a meeting. You need to let people know you’ll be about five
minutes late.
Hi all – I’m running about 5 minutes late. So sorry! See you in a few minutes.
Hi all – I’m having the worst day ever. It’s been problem after problem at the library, and I am going to have to come back here immediately after our meeting. I’m running about 5 minutes late
right now, but I may be later. I’ll be there as soon as I can.
Hi all – Do you know what happens when someone decides to pour an entire bottle of glue in the bookdrop? Well, I do, after today! Been a bad one…and I’m running about 5 minutes late.
Be there as soon as I can.
Big Concept 2
Rewards - Cost = Outcome
(the only math in the presentation, I promise!)

The Vulnerability Spectrum
October 2012
TRUST
The Clicking
• Similarity
• Complementarity
• Reciprocal Attraction
• Competence
• Proximity: Being where you are
• Disclosure (vulnerability)
Picture pages exercise:
Go back to that list of groups that you wrote. Pick one that works. Knowing what makes a group click, what do you think
might make that group click?
How to never,
ever have anyone
want to work with
you again.
Be Negative
A
B
Don't Share
Find ways to undercut
someone's value.
PROSELYTIZE
Never tell people
their value to you
Picture pages exercise:
Go back to that list of groups that you wrote. Pick one that doesn’t work. Think about all of the behaviors we talked
about….what do you see in the group that makes it not work? Can you change anything you do to make it better?
Book Break #2
Examples of collaboration:Your turn!
