Inbox lori Unsubscribe 10:04 AM (3 hours ago) to me newsL_12_masthead when was the last time you had a conversation like this? newsl-12_png_schmac-1 well put, by author and freelance journalist jennifer wallace, who joined a tnp academy hosted group last week with fellow neighbors and daniel schmachtenberger, co-founder of the consilience project. what went down was an inspiring conversation about love and how maybe, just maybe, it could be part of the solution to the misinformation and lack of truth and trust in society today. big stuff. but a simple, innately human solution. the group ended, agreeing to continue thinking on this… what does it take to make love and compassion the values we strive for instead of power and money? and what are the small things we can do to be part of that cultural shift? think on this too. carat-04-1 conversations like these take commitment and, we believe, practice. we’re developing a toolkit for better conversations that we call... neighborisms neighborism no.3 1 minute read neighborism no.3 hijack5-02 if you find yourself chiming in with “that reminds me of a time when.” or, “if you think that’s funny...” you probably just hijacked somebody else’s story. often disguised, even to ourselves, as wanting to relate, in fact we are inadvertently taking ownership and changing the course of the conversation. a hijacking in plain view. resist the urge. your story has its own place and time. hijack5-02 if you find yourself chiming in with “that reminds me of a time when.” or, “if you think that’s funny...” you probably just hijacked somebody else’s story. often disguised, even to ourselves, as wanting to relate, in fact we are inadvertently taking ownership and changing the course of the conversation. a hijacking in plain view. resist the urge. your story has its own place and time. * here are neighborisms no.1 and no.2 you could say we are conversation geeks. (it’s cool, we say it too.) when you’ve observed, practiced, studied, and participated in thousands upon thousand of conversations like we have, you learn a few things. we call them neighborisms. and together they provide what we believe is a super helpful tool kit for better conversations. carat-04-1 neighborism no.1 monkeys_mh2_final-01 we’ve all been there. that point in a conversation when it turns uncomfortably quiet. for some reason social norms have trained us that this is wrong or weird or a problem. but it’s not. we say… resist the urge to jump in with what most often in this scenario will be platitudes or small talk. carat-04-1 neighborism no.2 Listening is an Action Word_Final-01 listening doesn’t just happen. that’s hearing. and pretty much just involves your ears. but listening, that’s a whole body, all 5 senses activity. and actually requires a good amount of practice to get good at it. actively listening makes people feel heard and valued, making it pretty critical to any meaningful conversation. fun fact: for self-proclaimed conversation geeks, our first 2 neighborisms don’t involve talking at all. interesting. carat-04-1 meet merlin, driver of conversation. literally. 2 minute read newsL_12_merlin-landing we met merlin in the no b.s. zone, where we gather, talk about what’s happening in the world, and cut through the noise to get to the truth. merlin knows about making a difference as director of the do good bus, a non-profit connecting people through meaningful purpose, and actual driver of the discuss bus. which is pretty much like it sounds… a group of people hopping on a bus to discuss what’s happening both locally and globally. the conversations spark ideas which spark action. the discuss bus was parked (aka virtual) during covid, but merlin and co are getting ready to hit the road again soon. our neighbors are friggin’ awesome. are you a merlin? we’d love to hear your community, connection, conversation story, so we can share it right here with everyone in the ‘hood. simply reply to this email. carat-04-1 want to get in on a conversation? we’ve got a great one for you to try this week... meet merlin, driver of conversation. literally. 2 minute read newsL_12_merlin-landing we met merlin in the no b.s. zone, where we gather, talk about what’s happening in the world, and cut through the noise to get to the truth. merlin knows about making a difference as director of the do good bus, a non-profit connecting people through meaningful purpose, and actual driver of the discuss bus. which is pretty much like it sounds… a group of people hopping on a bus to discuss what’s happening both locally and globally. the conversations spark ideas which spark action. the discuss bus was parked (aka virtual) during covid, but merlin and co are getting ready to hit the road again soon. our neighbors are friggin’ awesome. are you a merlin? we’d love to hear your community, connection, conversation story, so we can share it right here with everyone in the ‘hood. simply reply to this email. carat-04-1 want to get in on a conversation? we’ve got a great one for you to try this week... featured group: social media detox club 1 minute read newsL_12_detox-landing-size we’ve all been there. you casually open the ‘gram and next thing you know an hour (or two) of your life is gone. missing. never getting it back. let’s meet and talk about the effect of social media on our lives and maybe, just maybe, start making a plan to take back control. click here to join carat-04-1 join now-07 have friends who would be into this sort of thing? please share this email. tnp.us, 123 Mason Street, Greenwich, CT 06830 Unsubscribe Manage preferences 7e2fe8a copyright © 2021 privacy policy / terms of service featured group: social media detox club 1 minute read newsL_12_detox-landing-size we’ve all been there. you casually open the ‘gram and next thing you know an hour (or two) of your life is gone. missing. never getting it back. let’s meet and talk about the effect of social media on our lives and maybe, just maybe, start making a plan to take back control. click here to join carat-04-1 join now-07 have friends who would be into this sort of thing? please share this email. tnp.us, 123 Mason Street, Greenwich, CT 06830 Unsubscribe Manage preferences -------------------------------- Terms of Service The Nantucket Project, LLC Terms of Service These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and The Nantucket Project, LLC (“TNP”).
