D.I.A.L.O.G Program

The idea of our signature product D.I.A.L.O.G.™originated from our strong belief that exchanging ideas through conversations is the way to build bridges between gaps to enable people to reach an understanding, sensitivity level and appreciation of each other no matter how different or similar they are.

Our D.I.A.L.O.G.™signature program stands for: “Diversity& Inclusion in Active Leadership Organizational Growth”, it uses a unique tool model to achieve higher employee engagement and inclusion goals, thus increasing revenues and productivity

What is D.I.A.L.O.G.

By definition dialogue in a simple form is a conversation between two or more persons, or an exchange of ideas or opinions on a particular issue, especially on a difference or gap issue, with a goal of reaching an amicable agreement or settlement.

We explore the use of facilitated conversations and social experiences to drive meaningful action. Dialogue is the foundation of what it means to be human, and the start of any meaningful human interaction. It is at this juncture the art of genuine dialogue, and its use in organizations, is examined.

D.I.A.L.O.G. Program Objective

The main objective of D.I.A.L.O.G.™ is creating an opportunity for each participant to examine the preconceptions, prejudices and the characteristic patterns that lie behind his or her thoughts, opinions, beliefs and feelings to generate a process encouraging self-reflective conversation and inquiry that bring to the surface tension created by difference; clarify and address issues of potential conflict (e.g., race, color, religion, affirmative action, ethnicity, gender, age, disability) and challenge the participants to rethink many of their attitudes, assumptions, perceptions and social understandings through sharing of feelings, emotions, thoughts and experiences considering alternative perspectives.

Dialogue increases coherence between the participants where they are able to move beyond their cultural limitations into new territory.

"The purpose of dialogue",David Bohm suggests, "is to reveal the incoherence in our thought." In so doing it becomes possible to discover or re-establish a "genuine and creative collective consciousness." The process of dialogue is a process of "awakening;" it entails a free flow of meaning among all the participants.

Our D.I.A.L.O.G. ™ programs are interactive, participative and fun provided in a safe environment to allow each one's inner strength to blossom.

Our D.I.A.L.O.G. ™ programs are about sharing and exchanging best practices and being committed to honest and clear dialogue that result in inclusion. Healthy dialogue and even disagreement is better than settling for "YES" people.
