How I helped developers talk about feelings and needs
As humans we are not good at sharing our feelings and needs, and it seems to be even harder for people in tech.
Many conflicts and misunderstandings happen because team members don't know what the other members needs. When we don't that, we may accidentally hurt them.
I helped many teams over the years and I have seen this happen again and again. Over time I have developed techniques to address this part as well.
I was working in a large media company, when a team had a conflict escalate into an emotional situation. This is the story of how I helped them talk about their feelings and needs, which was the first step in collaborating again.
I will also share some techniques that you can try out with your own team.
