Join me in this new episode of The Adventure Paradox with Michelle Stowe, an academic advocate of 'Restorative Practices' based in Dublin. The conversation delves into how effective communication can foster stronger relationships and resolve conflicts in diverse contexts, particularly in schools. Michelle expands on her SCALE acronym (Smile, Connect, Ask, Listen, Engage) and its origin, sharing how it cultivates positive relationships and supports conflict resolution. The discussion also includes the impact of social media on empathy and communication and the importance of shifting focus from blame to understanding harm in conflict situations. Michelle shares her experiences and insights from implementing restorative practices in various school settings and age groups, and her journey overcoming public speaking fears to share her passion through a TED Talk.
