Satir: Temperature reading

Temperature Readings can facilitate congruent communication and assists individuals in becoming more open. In our experience temperature readings work well for:

  • Discussing that which is human in all of us and hardly ever gets talked about directly
  • Making human contact with (new) members in a group
  • Facilitating connection and bonding between group members
  • Making the covert more overt
  • Assessing emotional climate
  • Demonstrating individual and group processes are valued
  • Detoxifying and transforming toxic situations early
  • Transforming closed systems in open systems
  • Maintaining open systems
  • Raise self-esteem
  • Changing rules, values and patterns of communication

In general, Temperature Readings legitimize our whole human being, and support healthy group processes.

A temperature reading consists of five parts that can easily be recognized as "natural". Set the context properly, and as facilitator you can probably lean back:

  • Appreciations
  • Complaints with recommendations for change
  • Puzzles, Gossip and Rumors
  • New Information
  • Hopes and Wishes
