I just got finished speaking with Chinrinree about this week's assignment. She described some of her work routine; Tuesday's training meetings and Friday meetings held in a circle. It was at one of the "Circle" meetings that Chinrinee was informed of bad decisions being made, without her input or consent, which have cost her company (meaning herself) a lot of money.
Of course her first response was to feel anger, but she didn't let her angry feelings control the situation. Instead, she meditated on the following morning to, "Accept the day as it is." During the meeting, she let go of her role as "Leader", and asked those in attendance, "What shall we do?".
Chinrinree talked about the quiet in the room, and then presented the same question again. She made a commitment to suspend her feelings, and to not assign blame. She told me, "Maybe my picture is not their picture" and, "I have to learn with them".
I think it is nothing short of amazing that Chinrinee was able to set aside her personal feelings of loss, and most likely some feelings of betrayal, in order to become one with her team of staff, and to actively problem solve and learn.
