1. Exercise for individual worker-to-worker conversations
Watch a video case discussion between two colleagues (without any Thinking Together routine, and not entirely successful...)
.
In pairs and small groups:
How was the discussion helpful or unhelpful?
How might they use the four step structure to promote mentalizing/be more helpful
Role play the scenario using Thinking Together
Final video clip
Another video clip to demonstrate the same discussion with the workers using Thinking Together
2. Exercise for Team meetings
As a team, go to Team Meetings - watch the videos there (they are designed as a simple role play to demonstrate technique, not as perfect practice!).
Discuss this, and compare and contrast with how your own team meetings work well when they do, and don't work so well at other times
Choose a live case that is not too contentious (this is for practice) and role play a team discussion using this framework.
After the role play, open some reflective discussion by breaking into pairs in the team first, and discussing how this may or may not help your team if brought into common practice.
