REFLECTION QUESTION
Health & Equity

What is easy for you to do when having a constructive conversation and what is challenging? What tips do you have for having a constructive conversation?
Daniel Mihai 4/01/2022 2:41 AM

Constructive conversations are based on accepting the other's perspective, background, current context and need to focus on mutual understanding rather than on a win/lose outcome (e.g. I'm right - you're wrong).

  This is so true. We get to realize, feedback is neutral. This means feedback is from the giver’s perspective and we can choose to hear the feedback without attaching power to it.

What is one way you will reduce your water use? What is a practice you already have that helps you reduce your water use?
Daniel Mihai 4/01/2022 1:30 AM

We take water availability for granted, but the droughts are longer and more severe every year. I started saving water at home by simply being mindful of the real need vs. the (bad) habit of letting it flow, replacing all faucets with modern, flow-controlling type and dual-stage, low-volume toilet tanks.

I stopped using the elevator a few years ago; my colleagues in Pune were surprised to see me take the stairs, 8 floors up and down, three times a day, while visiting their office. I just hoped this would be inspiring rather than weird :-)
