Dialogue to Act
The term "dialogue" typically evokes thoughts of conversation, but our methodology reveals a deeper exploration of this word. Competence considers a form of dialogue to help you navigate strategies and practices that form a skill or “triggers” for desired actionable behaviors.
Rooted in the Greek words "dia" (through) and "legein" (speak), dialogue goes beyond mere conversation. It is a discussion, an exchange of views, opinions, or ideas between two or more people.
As Louis Kahn beautifully illustrated with the brick analogy, dialogue in life involves listening, sharing, and considering different perspectives. In relationships, dialogue becomes a powerful force that can either empower or weaken a situation when tensions arise.
Dialogue isn't confined to verbal exchange. It extends to visual recognition—a chair seen through its material, color, and texture. Even sound, like the movement of a chair, can contribute to the dialogue. The context and environmental elements shape daily dialogue, influencing building skills and engaging in various work, home, and community settings.
Dialogue can be intimate, whether it's heart-to-heart communication or object-to-user interaction. One aspect of our services is to observe how you experience a specific space or environment in order to make an adjustment or modification based on situational context.
