On Dialogue

“Too many of us have lost touch with the fire of conversation. When we talk together, it is rarely with depth. For the most part, we see our conversations as either opportunities to trade information or opportunities to win points. Difficulties that might otherwise be resolved or even dissolved persist. And often we find we simply do not have the wherewithal to genuinely consider new possibilities, new options. Such miscommunication or misunderstanding condemns us to look elsewhere for the creative intensity that lies dormant within and between us. Yet it is an intensity that could revitalize our institutions, our relationships and ourselves."

– William Isaacs, Dialogue and the Art of Thinking Together, page 14

So what are you waiting for? Get conversing and listening on the things that energise you - you’ll soon see it’ll light a fire under the creativity that lies within you!
