Trabian Shorters A Cognitive Skill to Magnify Humanity
Trabian Shorters is a visionary who has seen and named a task that is necessary for all healing and building, for every vision and plan, whether in a family or a world, to flourish. It\u2019s called Asset Framing \u2014 and it works with both new understandings of the brain and an age-old understanding of the real-world power of the words we use, the stories we tell, and the way we name things and people. From everyday social media, to hallowed modes of journalistic, academic, and policy analyses, we have a habit of seeing deficits \u2014 and of defining people in need in terms of their problems. This has not only doomed some of our best efforts to failure \u2014 it leaves all of us prone to cynicism and hopelessness. What\u2019s exciting is that what Trabian Shorters proposes is not only more effective, it is simple and straightforward to grasp. It is in and of itself dignifying and renewing. The main question you might be asking at the end of this is why, at this advanced stage of our species, it took us so long to learn to asset frame.
