Collaborative dialogue is a generative process that leads to insights and new ideas. It helps people understand and identify reasoning processes and value commitments. Dialogue is, literally, going through something with words. Collaborative dialogue capitalizes on the productive power of having several people in the same room thinking about the same idea. This is grounded in the traditions of philosophical dialogue and contemporary research on collaboration and creativity. Collaborative dialogue is fun, productive, and invigorating.

We help people think more effectively, individually and as a team.

We use time-tested approaches that are enhanced by current research to help people think collaboratively and creatively.

We foster a climate of self and group discovery, so that people learn new practices and modes of analyses that can be strategically deployed again and again. These transformative sessions take participants out of their normal working environments and thinking spaces to an enriching, exploratory environment.

The Socratic Method, for example, is where we call into question our underlying value and knowledge claims. We slow down and ask, what do we really know? Often, closer examination reveals that we are operating on presuppositions instead of facts or necessities.

This fine-grained analysis may not be possible when you are in the field or on the clock. But it is perfect for a workshop or retreat outside your normal work environment. Our facilitation process brings insight and understanding to your daily activities in a whole new way.

We are particularly skilled at fostering both dispassionate analysis and value-based inquiry, and help people identify which approach is right for the task at hand.

Our process is designed to help people dive deep into the seemingly ordinary to discover the extraordinary and develop a new outlook.

Facilitation services are available in Sedona, AZ and at your location.
