<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am obsessed with culture, change and transformation…and always puzzling over how it really happens.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One thing I know for sure: Forcing change, telling people to change, doesn’t</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">make</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">it happen.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I think there are two ways to profoundly facilitate change. One is:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">💫 ASKING PEOPLE QUESTIONS THAT SHIFT THE CONVERSATION.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When I talk about Conversational Leadership in my book,</span> <a href= "https://theconversationfactory.com/good-talk"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Good Talk,</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">this is what I mean: We can transform how other people think, not by telling them</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">how or what</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">to think, but by framing and fostering a new conversation.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The other way is by:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">💥FACILITATING EXPERIENCES THAT FOSTER AN “AHA” MOMENT.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This means, for me, asking a</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">series of questions,</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and making space for conversations that bring people into a new mode of thinking -</span> <strong>the other side of an “a-ha”.</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is why I love to say "an experience is worth a thousand slides" We can throw a thousand slides at a group and never see the shift we want to foster.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Recently, my friend</span> <a href= "https://www.danielstillman.com/blog/an-experience-is-worth-a-thousand-slides"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Jeff Gothelf did a lovely write up of an experience I led for one of his clients,</span></a> <span s
