Dialogue experiment

With my friends Mark Hodge and Alok Singh I helped to host an experimental dialogue on Monday at The Hub. This continues my interest in ways for groups to create a deeper sense of connection.

I’m feeling a bit blogged out at the moment, so I’m glad that Julian Elve has done a post that gives a great personal account of what happened.

I really enjoyed the experience, which confirmed my feeling that people are closer to the possibility of deep connection than might sometimes appear to be the case. And hungrier for it than might be thought.

Leading from the clown

I shot this in a single eight-minute take, which is in the spirit of an experience of Ralf Wetzel’s workshop, Leading from the Clown. Clown training is probably the deepest and most challenging work I’ve done. Enjoy.

I’ve long been fascinated by all the cognitive biases that undermine our self-image as rational creatures. So it’s no surprise that I’m enjoying Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking Fast and Slow. One
