VIEW is a framework created by [[Joe Hudson]]. It's purpose is to help people **have more fruitful conversations**. Hudson emphasizes that VIEW is **a mindset, not a set of techniques**, and that it's important to approach it that way, else it may not work. The underlying point is that ease and effectiveness in communication come from adopting a supportive perspective or state of mind, rather than perfecting a technique. It's in the underlying "consciousness", not the surface-level words. VIEW has the following dimensions: 1. **Vulnerability**: Speak and be in your truth, even if it's scary. 2. **Impartiality**: Be impartial about the strategies you choose to pursue a desired outcome. Indeed, try to be impartial about the outcome itself. Drop your agenda, especially for other people. Don't try to fix them, convince them, or be valuable to them. 3. **Empathy**: Be with the person in their emotions. Stay grounded in your own body and maintain some attention there to avoid getting sucked into their emotions and story. 4. **Wonder**: Be in awe of someone or something and lean into your curiosity, but without looking for an answer. Go on a learning journey. Relax and be in the question. It's an expansive and open state as long as you don't seek an answer, in which case you start to contract. In this state, uncertainty and "being stuck" don't matter. --- Created: [[2023-05-26]] Type: #permanent Topics: [[Coaching (Index)]], [[Relationships (Index)]] Related notes: -
