Hey ,

Over the past few weeks I was "in-training' for an online 3-day course on group facilitation. By 'in training' what I mean is that I was practicing getting up earlier and earlier every morning so that by Tuesday last week I was bright eyed and bushy tailed for a crisp 3am start!!

That's the downside of living in New Zealand when all the good stuff is happening on US time! 3am - 10:30am every day meant that my days were loooong - because I'm not really disciplined enough to get to bed at a decent hour 😩

Was it worth it?

Well you'll have to drop-in to a Wired Weekly to find out 😉

When it comes to facilitation, I would definitely rate myself as just barely a Brave Experimentor. I have a long way to go, but I am sure hoping you'll join me for the ride!

Talking about Brave Experimentor - it was such fun to see everyone weighing in on the Interoception quiz!

Here's how it breaks down

👀 The curious explorer 55%

🕵️ The brave experimentor 44%

🤓 The masterful integrator 0%

And I summarized the things your curious minds are already pondering:

1 - Incorporating interoception into working with kids who are very young, non-verbal or have intellectual disabilities

• How might they express their interoception experiences
• How can we better help them express/understand them

2 - How to best support parents to support their young children with interoception challenges

• When parents are new to the concept
• When parents have their own interoception challenges
• When parents negate or deny their child's experiences

3 - Implementation and Integration into Practice

• Where/how to start.
• Strategies, guidelines and checklists
• Bowel and Bladder issues
• Interoception and trauma
• Time constraints on challenging caseloads / limited session availability
• How to expand confidence and implementation
• How to start creating a list of questions to build the language and experience.

4 - Assessing and Enhancing Interoception

• How to measure/assess interoception and interoception outcomes
• How to help clients recognize what feelings in their body mean (if this is possible).
• Signs of interoception difficulties

5 - Miscellaneous

• where/how does co-regulation fit in?
• children/young people who can come across as quite passive?

We covers some of this in the spotlight snippets and we'll dig in more as we go through the laser coaching, Scholar Sip Café and wrap up Q&A!

So much good learning coming our way!

But to get back to the Wired Weeklies...

I been thinking hard, and brainstorming with who ever happens to cross my path (thank you for your willing ears and creative ideas) about how to make sure your valuable time is well spent hanging out online with me.

This is why it was so worth it for me to get up at 3am!

In a world of information overload, that is changing faster than we can get our heads around, we need a way to grasp the benefits and mitigate the harm. We already have all the ingredients we need to do this - right here in this Wired Collective!

1. Intellectual capital with our shared knowledge and experiences
2. Social capital with our shared values and challenges; and
3. Communal capital when we connect and problem solve together with the collective wisdom of the crowd.

So I'm doing a revamp of Wired Weeklies and Progress Pods over the next few weeks to take advantage of these so this weeks Wired Weeklies will just be drop-in for any questions you have about The Wired Collective (or CEO) and we'll start with our new structure from next week. You are warmly invited to join me in exploring how we take advantage of such rich resources!!

I'll be sharing more in the next email, but for now I want to just say...

Be Excited!

With so much enthusiasm ♥️

Mindy
