I like your phrase of "unconditional positive regard" as well, and will be weaving it into our <a href="http://www.managingwithaloha.com/9keyconcepts.html" rel="nofollow">Language of Intention</a> with "positive expectancy" for I think that expectancy <em>does have to be unconditional</em> - as Aloha teaches us too, to give first to get it shared back with us. You may enjoy reading this post as well: <a href="http://talkingstory.org/2009/11/become-a-better-listener-with-these-5-skills/" rel="nofollow">Become a Better Listener with these 5 Skills</a>. It was written as a companion posting to our Ruzuku alpha, however it has some thought triggers in it too. Positive expectancy is part of the very first skill I list there: <strong>Learn to broadcast the signals of your Listening Mode</strong>. We set a stage for listening, one that others must feel they can comfortably walk on to, and share with us.

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 03:15:29 +0000 http://talkingstory.org/?p=3489#comment-3648 A series of links from your blog about <strong>Undercover Boss</strong> unexpectedly led me to this piece on Talking Story. I LOVE the term "positive expectancy," too! In training for my master's in counseling, I learned three tenets to effective listening: be authentic, be non-judgmental, and hold every person in unconditional positive regard. If I could strive to include positive expectancy as part of my daily routine, with every person I interact with, I believe that the interactions would take on a deeper meaning. In fact, if I operate with aloha in every way, then by definition, I would be connecting with the beauty and spirit in every living thing. Thank you for helping me to remember this powerful affirmation! A series of links from your blog about Undercover Boss unexpectedly led me to this piece on Talking Story.
