✨ The Power of Restorative
When used properly, Restorative can help you:
Quickly recognize what is wrong or not working in a system, process, or relationship.

Get things back up and running, rather than just patching things up temporarily.
Stay calm and rational in a crisis, helping others feel secure when facing difficulties.

Don't get so caught up in the details that you lose sight of the big picture.
Avoid interfering too much and making others dependent, but empower and guide them to solve problems themselves.
Be careful not to become too self-critical or see things through the lens of flaws.
