Collective Transformation Processes
REALITY:
Our societies and communities are complex.
Constructive communication is undermined through polarization and division.
POTENTIAL:
Empathic Dialogue has the power to overcome divisive atmospheres.
In dialogue we practice openness, inclusiveness
and trust building around shared values.
INTERVENTIONS:
Empathic Dialogue can come alive in these key areas:
PRACTICES
In each area we continuously practice
different core skills and character strengths.
In Deep Listening we practice:
Curiosity for other perspectives
Openness to grow
Validation for the other
In Intentional Sharing we practice:
Courage to share openly
Consideration for others’ feelings
Participation to serve the group
In 'Flowing between Skills' we practice:
Commitment to shared values
Empathy for the other
Focus on complementary skills
"Trust is a fragile thing.
Once earned, it affords us tremendous freedom."
