Our Offerings
The DynamicDialogue® program is successfully guiding and supporting individuals and teams in public and private organizations in the United States, Canada, and Sri Lanka. These individuals and organizations are growing in their ability to develop healthy personal and working relationships and are sharing important information and creative ideas to enrich their effective communications.
Training and Experiential Learning Services for Individuals, Families and Organizations
We offer a wide range of services, programs and training formats based on individuals', families' and organizations' needs. Some are standard, designed with optimum benefits for participants based on their previous experience with DynamicDialogue. Others are custom-tailored and respond to specific situations, challenges and opportunities in the lives of groups and organizations. Click one of the three links above for description of our tailored offerings. See below for our standard programs.
Program Benefits
DynamicDialogue can help you and your organization to:
- Inquire with genuine openness and advocate without pushing
- Value different perspectives as assets and positives
- Expand your thinking with new information, communication theories and practices
- Speak truth with compassion while leaving room for a wider truth
- Seek a creative common ground for a common purpose
- Set clear goals and objectives and focus relationships to more effectively meet them
- Develop and mutually support accountability practices
- Become creative, free of limiting mental models and categorizations
- We consult with organizations in transition and mentor leaders desiring a shift in culture that allows "un-discussables" to be explored and a productive common ground to emerge
Mentoring
Work one-on-one with a trained mentor to integrate Dialogue skills into everyday situations with family, your workplace, neighborhood, and a range of public settings. Our mentors provide support that directly connects this practice to the situations you bring and the relationships you have. Whether debriefing an interaction or working through anticipated issues for an upcoming engagement, mentors support your learning in life. Mentoring can help you to:
- Find a way to work with a colleague you were avoiding because of stressful interactions,
- Change habits that limit effectiveness,
- Engage difficult people while honoring their values and keeping focus, and
- Move from anxiety-producing relationship ruts that hurt marital, work, and family relationships.
Sessions are flexible and are generally once-a-month for an hour. The fees are on a sliding scale of $85-$125/hour. Let us know if you'd like to be in touch with any of our mentors or have more questions!
