A Divide is the separation between the way things are, and the way you want them to be ... exacerbated by people disagreeing with both.
Crossing Divides navigates the myriad network of tiny connections, from one side to the other.
Crossing Divides gives you the agency to work on problems so that they truly improve.
Crossing Divides involves the following:
Crossing Divides Sessions
Work with us to cross a stressful Divide.
Crossing Divides Discussion Groups
Talk with people with different points of view.
Problem Solving “Monkey” Workshops
A monkey on your back is a burdensome problem that won’t go away. The workshops give you an opportunity for introspection, and space to generate new ideas for solving problems the way you choose.
Business Meetings
Small meetings facilitated for improved listening and collaboration. Achieve stated objectives. Strengthen working relationships. For businesses and non-profit organisations.
Consulting
Discuss a problem you really want solved. Work out what to do.
A Divide is the space between different ways of thinking.
Crossing Divides fills this space with fresh ideas.
Responding to different ways of thinking
You might get more done without having to work so hard to do it.
Making decisions democratically
In the long run, making decisions democratically is easier than making decisions authoritatively. The more you include people in the decisions they make, the more they do to accomplish them.
Taking time
Speedy brains buzz about like flies in a bottle. Calm down. Choose your thoughts carefully.
Solving problems constructively
Contrary to popular opinion, building is easier than destroying — and less destructive. Yet the concept of solving problems is often geared towards eliminating problems rather than building upon the way things happen to be. Start with a problem. Get to know it. Consider strengths and weaknesses. Then come up with possibilities and well-informed next steps.
