Speech Comm
Trust Speeches
Everyone, this is Lee. He's coming to us from my other section. Everyone make him welcome.
((ooc:and just for Lee, a new icon))
Now, for everybody BUT Lee, who gets a pass for being new, you should have a 3 to 5 minute speech persuading me to trust you. Go.
***********************************************
301--Trust Games
*Again, the room is empty and darkened, a smallish (6x6) square is on the floor.*
Ok, gang, this is a really common trust game, and once again I will excuse people if they can give me a *yawn* valid excuse. I'm not going to force anyone to do anything they don't want to do. Never discount your free will and your ability to make the personal political.
Ok, I've cleared the floor. I'd like everyone to get in that square, everyone as close as possible. *yawn*
This is an excellent exercise to do in an elevator. You must stand, you can't leave, and you must negotiate your space and conditions of your comfort zone. People often crack when trapped in a small space with others *yawn* so this will build trust amongst you for the next time you all have to work together.
*She goes and sits at her deskand rests her chin on her palm. After watching for about ten minutes, her eyelids begin to droop and she falls asleep sitting up*

"People should trust me because I'm up front about what I want. If I want power, I tell you. If I want you to get out of my face, I let you know. I can be trusted because I trust myself, and my own abilities.
I can also be trusted because...."
- goes on to point out that she has all the material things she wants, so it's not like she needs anyone else's
- says that emotionally, she has minimal needs that don't demand much from others, therefore, she has little need to manipulate others for false friendship or security
winds up with:
- "Basically, I can be trusted, because I do want what's best for other people as well as myself. Now granted, I don't always want to be *around* those other people, but I like to think I'm basically benevolent, and therefore unlikely to cause harm. Well, unless you cross me. And hey, I always give fair warning, and allow people who have wronged me to make it up to me.
Directness, security, and benign neglect: you can trust me not to screw you over, because I am an island unto myself."
