HOW DO YOU USE THE CCS?
I use the CCS for two activities. First is for personal use in decision making, exploring options and my feelings about situations. Second, I use them to assist in facilitating small group discussions.
WHY DO YOU USE THE CCS?
The CCS cards provide a very fast means to articulate subjects that are sometimes difficult to describe or understand.
GIVE US AN EXAMPLE:
One of the things I teach are skills for influential communication. In that context I use the cards often to have my students - all top professionals - explore their ideas about the "experience" of their communication on the recipient. Often times we do not use this vital source of information on decisions related to our communication approaches. The CCS assists my students to explore the nature of communication from the other side.
Another use is in my course dealing with goal achievement and goal abandonment. In that context students use the cards to explore their 'inner' world of decision making about action. We want them to learn what it is they are doing in their minds the moment before they decide to either "go to gym" or "turn on the TV". The CCS allows students to better define and describe these inner experience such that they are more quickly able to apply strategies to control their own behaviour.
