our relatedness.

 Mystery is valued: What would surprise you
by being here?
 Reflection is valued.
 Relationships/intimacy as a community is the
goal.
 Believe people show up with generosity.

15. New narratives of what is
possible are derived through
meaningful conversations.

16.  We are here, because all of you are
developing the human agency for the
Common Good!
 You are the voices for an alternative narrative!
 Therefore, What’s the prevailing narrative you
are seeking to alter through your efforts?

Sustainable Dialogue and
Community

18. We are social by nature, and authentic change
for the common good requires the restoration
of humanity!
Relationships are the promise of
intimacy that can accomplish that.
We act upon that and whom we
Care about! The mutuality of
relationship binds us…

19.  Creating Community is first and
foremost an engagement of
individuals together to create
something of meaning

20.  Every community/organizational change is
preceded by a personal one;
 Relational influence touches my human being
and that is why it is so powerful!

21.  Time with each other/ stakeholder
 Acts of service to one another/ stakeholders
 Developing Trust that one’s well-being is
held in value by one another
 Sense of mutuality: What am I giving, what
am I receiving? And, What are we building?

23.  Welcome each other to the
conversation.
 What has brought you here to this
meeting?
 Share what the meaning of
collaboration is for you?

24.  Who has commitment to the new narrative?
 Who has power to advocate/ support an
alternative future?
 Who can bring resources?
 Who is in the “community” you’re working to
change?
 Who is willing to take the risks to empower
innovation and action?
