Nelson Mandela asked: How can we inspire
greatness when nothing less will do? Greatness in our time means doing
everything required to transition from sure ecological self-destruction to a
life-sustaining future.
For this transition to occur successfully
those of us who care must become skilful at raising people’s quality of
thinking to a new level. Tactical conversations are an innovative approach to
doing this. Developing this skill will increase your repertoire as a
facilitator and as a social change agent.
We start with something physical. You will
learn how to do an advanced Tai Chi push using the Feldenkrais method of
teaching (fun; surprising!).
Then we will show how the principles of
teaching we just used apply to affecting how people think in ways that they
find beneficial. This is an innovative way of communicating that has many
applications.
We can apply it to catalysing mindset
shifts for healthy social change. The Inspiring Transition initiative is a
vehicle to take it to scale.
