How do you facilitate passionate differences of opinions? Melvyn contemplates this after watching a heated tv interview
Hello, it’s Melvyn here.
I was looking at this morning’s television and a prime example about facilitators. There was two people discussing about having children out of wedlock and having children in a loving marriage, and all that and they were having a discussion. They were so opposite. So people, the two ladies that I was talking about, that I was looking at were talking over one another and that is a prime example of how facilitators are, because, or can be. When there’s a disagreement, I may not agree with what the facilitator’s saying so do I speak up or do I say nothing?
I don’t always agree with the facilitators so that’s when, that’s when I’m passionate and I come over aggressive but I’m not aggressive, I’m not, I haven’t got an aggressive part of me in, only in my speech and that’s what I’m trying to get over. Hope this is come out more clearly.
I’m not saying they’re wrong but I’m not saying they’re right because sometimes, sometimes I don’t agree with the facilitator in what they’re talking about and what the outcomes should be, because it’s not always, it’s not always, It’s not always good for people who’ve got dementia and that’s what I’m trying to get at.
And it was a prime example, absolutely prime example of the facilitator and they was talking over one another because they wanted to get their point over and that’s all I try to do.
God, I just want things to happen for people with dementia and if I can’t get that through or get the outcomes I want I’m afraid I get frustrated so that’s what I’m trying to get at and it was a prime example. You couldn’t hear anyone else talking because they were talking over one another.
