Change The Conversation
Location: London | UK
Change The Conversation is dedicated to helping people, organisations and communities work collaboratively together for the good of all. Since our launch in late 2012, we’ve been working with a wide range of clients to help them tap into the energy that is created when organisational silos, departmental rivalries, political divides and contending philosophies are bridged and people realise that they can work together irrespective of those things. Everywhere you look, it seems that humanity is being held back by some simple but powerful failings. From an early age, we are encouraged into tribal affiliations and allegiances of all kinds, sometimes without even realising it. We follow this sports team or that, we are members of this faith community or that (or none), we vote Tory or Labour or Republican or Democrat, we think economic growth is all important or we think protecting the planet is all important...and so on. Across these various tribal divides, our communications are usually in the form of adversarial argument - we seek to advance our own ideas at the expense of others by undermining the latter in whatever ways we can. We are rarely willing to stand back and view an issue objectively, to listen carefully to others and to look for what may be valuable in their viewpoint and to accept that no-one has a monopoly on wisdom or the “truth”.
