Stefa Katamay “Care with our Words.”
Making assumptions is part of human nature. Informed by our experiences and influences our assumptions are both useful and they get in our way. Our words can either reflect or bypass our assumptions. Care with our words, specifically how we ask questions, can shift our views, and aid in communicating or developing compassion. We can overcome our assumptions with our words, one person at a time.
Stefa Katamay has been caring about words and questions throughout her life, always with the goal of connecting with people. Her early years were spent translating nutrition information into something meaningful to the community. Later, her work evolved to include qualitative research, the fine art of asking open-ended questions. Stefa is a Certified Executive Coach and a Certified Retirement Coach, both requiring the capacity to ask “powerful” questions. She writes about “the places we travel within our own emotional, intellectual and spiritual landscapes.” Stefa has been attending Capital Unitarian Universalist services since July 2018.
