Activity: Developing High Quality Connections

Introduction

Scenario 1

Janelle accepted your invitation for an information meeting. 

You have been looking forward to connecting with they/them because they/them works at an organization that you are curious about. 

It was decided that the meeting would be located at Janelle’s office. 

Once you’ve introduced yourselves and conversed for about 10 minutes, you notice this: 

a looping video of someone yawning. They look bored and aren't really paying attention.

Take a moment to reflect:

  • What are the thoughts and storyline going through your mind?
  • What are your initial reactions and how do you feel about Janelle’s actions?
  • What are your assumptions or conclusions about Janelle?
