Speed Stating

1 hour

This technique was developed by Bruce McKenzie (Australia). It enables a group of people to share their unique perspectives quickly and safely. Each person receives the reflections of every other person about the idea or concern he or she stated in the center circle of a large sheet of paper. We read and respond quickly, and gather multiple ideas that otherwise would remain mute.

It's time to move beyond just talking about change.
We'll change how we act when we change how we think. Strengthening my thinking now is something tangible I can do.
