DIALOGUE PROGRAM A PURPOSEFUL INQUIRY INTO THE ASSUMPTIONS, VALUES, AND PROCESSES THAT

BRING UNDERSTANDING TO COMMON EXPERIENCE AND FORM COLLECTIVE ACTIONS 14TH TO 16TH MAY 2014

WITH LAWRENCE PHILBROOK

INTRODUCTION AND PUBLIC

“When we are trying to deal with a personal problem, question, or decision we know it is ours alone to resolve and that we have the inner resources to resolve it, but those resources are often hidden from us by layers of inner "stuff". We know that other people might help us discover our resources and find our way, but by exposing our problem we risk being invaded by their judgments, assumptions and advice. As a result, we may keep these vital questions to ourselves, which cuts us off from our own inner resources and from the resources of community” By Parker J. Palmer

This course helps you understand what’s involved in a deep dialogue, what’s the mechanism behind the act of listening and speaking that we do all the time and more importantly, as a facilitator, how to bring out all inner resources from present persons so that they can deal themselves with their problems and projects.

Who Should Take This Course: Professional facilitators, trainers, educators, organizational and social change agents, team leaders, and human resources professionals and consultants.
