In a conversation with friend and Radical Transitions recipe contributor, Linda Fabe, in Cincinnati last weekend, she inspired a possible distinction about the 4 conversations in the intentional mode we’re working with. Since shadow conversations are the “old” conversations that divided communities, the 4 conversations are the “new” conversations designed to build community. I like the distinction because of its elegant reminder of how focus makes the difference. Even this meta-conversation implies how the old conversations about money, allies, and power do not have the possibility that focus has in engaging the gifts of the community.

Radical Transitions is the companion of Instructions from the Cook, a new book by George Nemeth and Jack Ricchiuto about conversations that build community. More info at www.IntentionalModel.com
