The intention of a calm starting point.
For difficult meetings, I use my method to consider tensions that I personally perceive as energetic. My intention is to begin the conversation in as calm a setting as possible.
The intention is not to influence anyone’s decisions or will. Those involved speak to one another, listen to each other and make their own decisions.
A respectful conversation also needs clear ground rules, attentive listening and a willingness to accept different points of view.
Can this be used to influence a negotiation?
That is neither my claim nor my intention. Decisions and free will remain with everyone involved. This method is not a tool for controlling other people.
