Being giraffe is sometimes called Being compassion and Doing giraffe is sometimes called Doing Compassion. We are going to talk about what it looks like Being a Giraffe and what it looks like Doing Giraffe. We will role-play a scenario of what it sounds like doing giraffe. To give heads up, I have exaggerated the conversation playing the role as my dad. 

 In NVC Being Giraffe is Being honest towards myself moment by moment by recognizing what is going on inside myself and expressing this while trying to empathically listen to what’s alive in another person.

 "Doing Giraffe" means focusing on how it "should be" and analyzing how others act and talk according to "NVC-Standards" and therefore correcting them when they are "wrong"
