Welcome back SV FIREFLY Brenda and Ted

 

 

What is Gestalt Theory and Why You Need To Know It ?

. Here are some general ideas about how it works:

1. Speak from your own experiences rather than giving advice or opinions

2. Use “I” statements instead of “You” statements

3. Speak in past tense

4. Avoid the “ you Should”, “ one Would”, “you Could”

5. Do not speak in generalities, be specific share a relevant past experience

It can take a lot of practice IT IS HARD TO NOT GIVE ADVICE – SHARE EXPERIENCES

THOUGHT EXERCISE
How would you convey the information on how to use satellite charts to navigate vs traditional charts ?

 

Gestalt aims to enable the individual to seek his or her own solutions to problems. Literally translated as ‘whole / shape’, Gestalt focuses the individuals past shareable experiences to convey information ( both good or bad ) to allow for a less biased knowledge exchange.
