Building Trust

Questions that Create Forward Movement The World Café, Shaping our Future Through Conversations that Matter, Juanita Brown (2005)

• What would it take to create change on this issue?

• What needs our immediate attention going forward?

• What conversation, if begun today, could ripple out in a way that creates new possibilities for the future of our

situation?

I had an Epiphany!

'This really is an innovative approach, but I'm afraid we can't consider it. It's never

been done before.'

Supporting Innovation

Everyone should have a “Tea Cup”- with a color on it. Please note your color!

There will be three sessions of 15 minutes each for you to discuss the question. One person will remain at the table as the recorder. At the table are markers and a chart for recording your conversation.

Your Menu will let you know both Café Etiquette & the location of café tables.

Now to the Café…
