Calibration Part (2)

Please remember the lesson from last week: what was calibration again? What exercises did you specifically put into practice? Were you successful?

Today follows the second part of the lesson on Calibration. Try to do these exercises as often as possible. You will see that your skills will expand more and more!

Exercise for this week

a) Ask a friend, partner, or colleague to play a little game. Tell them to first think of a person they really like. Now remember their facial expression. Then they should think of a person they do not like. Again, remember the facial expression. Then ask them questions like, “Which person is older? Which person is taller? Which person lives further away?” While answering these questions, your partner should think intensely about the respective person. Observe their facial features very closely and recognize from this observation who they are currently thinking of. Then check your judgment. If you conduct these exercises with several people, for example in a practice group, then exchange what you recognized after a few rounds. Have fun with it!

b) Take out some coins, e.g., 1 Euro, 2 Euro, and 0.50 Euro. Drop the coins on the floor and pay attention to the sound of the coins. Now let someone else throw the coins in random order and keep your eyes closed. Can you recognize the coins by their sound?

c) Again, you need a partner. Touch each other with your hands. Now one person starts to tell a story with their fingers. Try to grasp what the other is talking about with their fingers. Then discuss it afterwards.

Metaphor of the Week

Two men split wood all day long. One worked without a break and had a respectable pile of logs by the evening. The other chopped for 50 minutes and then rested for ten minutes each time, and yet his pile was much larger by evening. “Why do you have more than I do?” asked the first. His colleague replied, “Because during each break, I not only rested but also sharpened my axe.”
