Solution-Oriented

My path to being solution-oriented is by creating collaborative solutions.

In crises, we all have opinions, but in reality, not all opinions render themselves to solutions.

Miscommunication often stems from cognitive dissonance. To address this, we promote the understanding of diverse perspectives, allowing individuals to express their lived experiences. These understandings do not diminish the value of individual viewpoints. As a "body," we stand united in our support for ideals that care for all of humanity equitably. While we may have disagreements, we're all committed to the same goal of upholding humanness. Yes, criticism will often be thrown at us, sometimes as wrecking balls, but let’s ignore the intended gaslighting and look within it, the pearls of constructiveness that the criticism may hold to help us further the vision toward equitable and fair outcomes, protecting the crucible holding humanity!

Practical Steps to Consensus Building: I use an approach I've named "The Lists " to factor in all voices. "The List" comprises the "Opinion entry" and the "Topic category" Catalog.

The “opinion entry” was simply the summary of the suggested information received from all individuals willing to lend their voices and those of expert opinions in the field. The “topic-category catalog” is then generated for each proposed solution, incorporating all inputs, including the voices of the silent, dominant, minority, and majority groups. These voices received equal weight, followed by the pros and cons for each item on the “opinion entry” from

• silent voices,

• dominant voices,

• minority voices,

• majority voices.

The final step is consensus-building. Although everyone can have an opinion, realistically, not all ideas can lead to a solution. However, the process provided a consensus that included elements of suggested views from the diverse inputs provided. This seemingly laborious process was essential in demonstrating transparency and promoting equitable solutions.

Consensus-building Process: Clearly define the specific problem by clearly delineating compounded problems into separate ones. Each individual presents their viewpoints.

Each viewpoint receives equal weight. Intentionally encapsulate all the pros and cons within the deliberation process for each presented perspective. Reconnect the list of pros and cons as solution points to the identified and delineated problem. Complete dialogue by gleaning the elements that lend to an equitable solution to the problem. Land on an ethical and honest decision made by consensus building.
