Your tone of voice and thoughtful manner of speaking was wonderful. You allowed space for those who don't like to interject to feel comfortable to do so. Your personalization of the slide for harmful mental state was well done and made you feel more human and allowed the participants the ability to connect with you on a different level. The comments to not judge whether or not something was harmful or beneficial, rather just observe it was helpful. As was the statement that we aren't trying to get rid of the spark.
