Using the NSRF activity called The Zones of Comfort, Risk, and Danger allows a group to develop a common shorthand to facilitate later conversations related to learning and stressors. In your comfort zone, you find it easy to listen to others and to speak based on your knowledge and experience, but you may not be attentive enough to learn much. In your Risk Zone, you’re in an uncomfortable but fertile place for learning, open to new perspectives and consider options or ideas previously unconsidered. In your Danger Zone, you are unlikely to be able to learn because your attention is focused on surviving literally or metaphorically. Being aware of your own zones and those of others around you is imperative in adapting your interactions with them for best communication. As a CFG coach, watch for cues of any group members, particularly those presenting a piece of work, approaching their danger zone and use appropriate facilitation and feedback skills to help them return to their risk zone.
