A Look at Reframing the Narrative

At the NAI National Conference, Shaunna CM led a session on Interpreting Controversy and shared The Reframing Mindset, a technique she developed to guide audiences through tense or emotionally charged topics. She demonstrated how this approach shifts conversations from conflict to curiosity by centering values, relevance, and shared experience.

Drawing from real moments in wildlife coexistence work, Shaunna showed how the Reframing Mindset can defuse defensiveness, open space for understanding, and keep difficult conversations productive. The session gave interpreters practical tools for guiding audiences through complexity without losing connection or clarity.

The session underscored how skilled interpretation can steady difficult moments and make space for real dialogue.

"In coexistence work, conflict is expected. What matters is how we are able to guide people through it with integrity."
