If you want to build a ship,
don't drum up the people
to gather wood, divide the work
and give orders.
Instead, teach them to yearnfor the vast and endless sea.
Antoine de Saint Exupery
Julia Atkin, 2004
Dialogue
The roots of Dialogue are the Greek "dia" and "logos"
which means "through meaning."
It is often useful to contrast Dialogue with discussion.
In Dialogue we are interested in creating a fuller
picture of reality rather than breaking it down intofragments or parts, as happens in discussion.
In Dialogue we do not try to convince others of our
points of view. There is no emphasis on winning,
but rather on learning, collaboration and the
synthesis of points of view.

WHY?
Our drive to action, ourwill to act, should bedriven by what we saywe value and believe.
If a practice is suggestedfrom outside, our firstquestion should be WHY?- How will doing this,using this practice, helpus achieve what we saywe value?
As we explore newpractices we shouldconstantly reflect on howwell it enables us toachieve what we value.
Pressure from outside shouldbe worked through the WHY?
process?

VALUES & VISION DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT
Julia Atkin, 2004
To what degree are your practices
shaped by outside forces?
How conscious and explicit are
your values & beliefs?
How deliberate is the connection
between your values and your
actions?

VALUES & VISION DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT
Julia Atkin, 2004
What prevents congruence?
past patterning
habit
lack of know-how self delusion
lack of confidence/trust
lack of time
VALUES & VISION DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTI often here people saying Why do wehave to reinvent the wheel? Someoneelse has worked it out. Just tell us whatto do.
When changing practice meantchanging machines (Industrial Era) thequality of production wouldautomatically improve.Teaching is an act of person. Peoplewill not change their practiceauthentically unless they value it,unless they believe it.That doesnt necessarily mean 5 yearsnavel gazing about what you value andbelieve but it does mean being open toexplore new or different practicescombined with a commitment to reflecton how certain practices, strategies oractions help us achieve what we value.
