68. To Suspend, Identify
Identifying assumptions,
biases, and expectations
allows us to:
See the world in a new light.
Build common ground and consensus.
Respect others and their contributions, even
if contradictory to see things we have long held
to be true.
69. Assumptions. . .
✦ Assumptions = product of many years
of past experiences layered with
judgments.
✦ Example:
✓ Assumption: “It is not possible to
create a culture of dialogue in my
department”
✓ Action: You don’t try.
70. Suspend Judgements:
✦ When you look at the
picture of the old lady and
the young girl you have to
suspend your decision
about what you are seeing
so you can see the image
from another perspective.
You have to change the
meaning of what you are
seeing.
71. Expectations
✦ Expectations are vital and useful to us.
Nevertheless, they can:
✓ limit our ability to see the whole
picture,
✓ shut down our listening,
✓ and stifle our creativity and learning.
✦ It is important to understand and
recognize the difference between useful
and harmful expectations.
72. Pause
Definition: To stop in order to consider; to reflect; a moment
of silence; a delay or suspended reaction.
Pauses, in music as in life, are important. Stillness deepens
awareness, emergence, and integration.
73. Pause, Why?
• Periods of silence and reflection allow for
more clarity, objectivity, and discernment.
• Silence= key to new insights and
breakthroughs in thinking.
✓ By quieting ourselves, we better learn to hear the
softer slower murmuring melodies that arise from
the collective wisdom.
• How can silence add value to
your group?
74. Silence
There are many ways to sow the seeds.
Listen and in the quiet you will hear
the direction of your heart.
The garden of silence
is always there.
Patiently waiting.
We only have to claim it.
~Anne LeClaire
“Be Still and Know. . .”
75. Thinking
• We tend to create our reality through our
thinking. Thinking leads to action. . . or
inaction!
• Pausing helps us become aware
of internal thought process.
• A pause can also help us witness and be
aware of the collective thinking and
unfolding of meaning.
76. Reflection
• Reflection allows us to
think about, expand,
reconsider, understand
differently, develop, and transform
our knowledge.
• Reflection in action = ability to see what is
happening as it is happening.
77. Listen
Listen: To make an effort to hear something; to hear
something with thoughtful attention; to play close attention.
“It is better to listen in order to understand than to listen in order
to reply”.
78. Listen:
• To fully understand
• For common assumptions and voices
that question them
• For emerging shared meanings
• With your full attention
• With heart, ear, and eye
79. Listening Means Creating a Container
• Where different perspectives can be held
together
• Where they can be owned by everyone
A container is made up of safety,
skills, commitment, experience.
In a good container, different
ideas can cross-pollinate and
create new ideas.
80. 4 Kinds of Listening:
➡ Listening but not hearing
➡ Listening, but connecting with one’s own
agenda
➡ Listening and hearing without a personal
agenda
➡ Listening and hearing not only what is
spoken but what is not being said. Deep.

92. Inquire - Ask Questions

bread making. Unleavened bread is flat,
hard and unyielding. Unleavened
thinking is uninspired. ~Jamie McKenzie

protected boundary of pat answers and
clichés.
