In education we seldom ask this question.
The success of any organisation, however, is dependent on exactly this. It supports our navigation through complex situations where a variety of perspectives and opinions are present.
Talking and thinking together effectively can help us to develop ideas and create new meaning together across a range of interactions. It can support and challenge us. When dialogue flows, so do possibilities.
If we don’t talk and think effectively with each other, we can become limited in our actions, things stagnate and frustrations set in.
The following practices are key when looking at developing quality interactions:
- Voice: speaking authentically
- Listening: following what is unfolding
- Respect: allowing space to support enquiry
- Suspension: your thoughts and feelings
