Instructions is on its way to the publishers. I’ve added an pre-order form on DesigningLife.com. If you pre-order the book, we’ll thank you by sending a pdf version of the book. From Jack’s site:
An intentional model of conversations is built around questions that have power to engage people’s gifts in ways that matter. They are conversations that connect people in new ways, so they can collaborate in co-creating a future that attracts them. The model is an introduction to the deeper work of Peter Block’s “A Small Group” methodologies.
Conversations that build community have 4 qualities. They inspire dreams, initiate small acts, engage gifts, and create invitations.
In the old conversations that have no power, we mandate consensus, blame, problem-solve, give lip service, and talk about deficiencies. They keep the community isolated and fragmented in its efforts. In the new conversations that have power, we declare our dreams and gifts, we take and share ownership, we invite others to build community.
