RITUALS OR SYMBOLS AS PART OF YOUR CODE OF CONDUCT.
Bring your Listening Bear to the meeting! Only the person holding the bear gets to talk. And when he is finished, he decides who to pass it to next.
The Family and Business Listening Bear is a talking symbol like the talking sticks used by Native American tribes to share "airtime" fairly in meetings. Our experience is that using a Listening Bear also encourages playfulness, creating a fun dimension to meetings and rules that can become too serious. There is even some research indicating that adults behave better when there are children's toys in the room!
This can help to level the playing field so you can become a family of adults all sharing power!
This is not a toy. It is intended for adults for educational purposes.
