Curiosity & Social Intelligence
Strength Partners to Counterbalance
Within Dialogue Processes
we have the opportunity to simultaneously develop very different strengths
that have the power to counterbalance each others' impact.
For Example:
In Dialogue we need Curiosity to learn from and with the other.
Yet, we also need Social Intelligence to validate the other
by supporting healthy boundaries and avoiding intrusiveness.

Each strength is naturally in danger to become unbalanced
if overused or underused.

For example, too much Curiosity might mean Intrusiveness
or too little might be Complacency
Too much Social Intelligence might be Social Manipulation
or too little might be Social Awkwardness.
By practicing within community we can grow our awareness
for counterbalancing different strengths.
This enables us to establish balance within the Golden Middle
by developing Life Skills such as:
