WHY WE ARE DOINg A HOT SEAT

Kirsty came up with an idea to reflect on her own dreams and goals and shared this idea with Stella and Dani. From there, Dani’s consulting brain took over, and the two of them came up with the initial concept.

The idea is to be in a conversation with two people who are part of ALANA: The Mentee and the Mentor. Therefore it is a non-hierarchical coaching initiative that requires you to listen well and reflect at the same time.

At the center of The ALANA Project stands its contributors and community. Only if we are clear on our own goals will we be able to set clearly defined and committed ones in the context of ALANA.

We hope everyone will have fun and do some healthy self-reflection in the process. The game is simple. Follow the guided process on the next page.

"What you do makes

a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."

01

SELF-AWARENESS

Sometimes, we fail to ask ourselves the most important question: Who am I? It is hard to successfully reflect on yourself, truly, we know.

The initiative of the HOT SEAT we prepared here for you will only be as effective as acknowledging where you are standing right now.

A great help for this can be personality tests. Here are two options we quite like and helped us a big deal:

16 Personalities and Enneagram.

play the game

The game consists of three sets:

• Introduction Cards
  
• Reflection Cards
• Challenge and Feedback Cards

Prior to the meeting with your randomly assigned partner, you will have to select the cards by number. Those questions you will ask your counterpart during the call and support them to reflect on their own journey.

Remember to be friendly, empathic and supportive by being a good listener!

04

INTERNAL REflection

After the call, draw an emoji representing your mood! 😁

Then take a short break and dedicate 10-15 minutes for individual reflection. Think about the most important learnings and insights that you’ve gained today.

You can also write down some notes about how it went, what you liked and disliked, what made you feel comfortable and motivated, etc.
