How to be responsive

Start with noticing. This is about tuning in and paying attention. What are you drawn to? What’s interesting? — This might be something that’s repeated, something that’s unique, something that’s momentous.

Then recognise. This is about developing your understanding and seeing below the surface. So you need to think of and draw on what you know, based on what you can see. Interpretation and inference is key here.

Finally, respond. This is about participation. How can you contribute? It may be in the moment or it may be after the fact.
