Create Healthy Personal Relationships and Thriving Organizational Culture with Authentic Dialogue

"This is a powerful way to build connection through co-creation instead of conflict and disconnection."

- Spencer Babcock

“My experience with Dr. Sundiata's work was transformative. Like most people I loved to debate and vanquish any opposition to my view points which I hold not only sacred but obviously correct. During our session I was able to see the value in a “dialogue” with another human being rather than an opponent to defeat. Finding value in another view point, no matter how diametrically opposed to it I may have been has helped me to approach every debate/argument as a chance for dialogue and understanding.”

"I attended a discussion led by Sundiata at a self-directed education training. He had us enter into a debate and then take the same topic and dialogue about it. In the beginning and end of each experience he asked us to take stock of our emotions. The experience profoundly demonstrated the difference. I went from a place of feeling stubborn, small and stupid to a place of understanding, openness and creativity. No solution came from debating but solutions came from the dialogue. To me the difference between the two were night and day. It was interesting to note that a few times during the dialogue experience, Dr. Sundiata drew our attention to the feelings we were feeling and we noticed we had slipped into debate mode. It was simply a matter of seeking to prove my point instead of seeking to listen and understand the other person's point. Dialoguing opens doors and creates solutions quickly, having a third party help facilitate a dialogue supports everyone keeping to the goal and being aware."
