WHAT IS NEW IN 2003?!
The Book: Our book DIALOGUE: Rediscover the Transforming Power of Conversation, which was published in March of 1998 continues to find its way into the hands of people like you who are interested in the practice and application of dialogue. If you have yet to see the book, click here to review the table of contents and ways to order. If you have purchased the book we hope it has been of value to you and that you will let others know about it. One of our primary hopes is that sales will be sufficient for the book to stay in print so that it is available to those wanting to learn more about this important form of communication. Any way you can contribute to this will be appreciated.
Since completing the book in 1998 we (Glenna and Linda) have found ourselves called to focus our energies in different areas. For this reason we have chosen to partner on a few select programs and projects each year, creating time for us to pursue and develop our individual professional and personal interests To learn about programs we are offering jointly please click on Program Calendar. To learn about programs we are offering as individuals and with other colleagues or to simply learn more about our individual interests and how to contact us please click on Partner Profiles.

The Change Handbook: Group Methods for Shaping the Future. We have contributed a chapter on Dialogue to this exciting new book, to be published in summer of this year by Berrett-Koehler. Peter Block (author of Stewardship and Flawless Consulting) writes the following in his endorsement of the book. " If organization and community change is what you care about, and hope is what you long for, this book offers a doable path to both. It is a good book, nicely edited, delivered in bites that you can swallow." We hope you will check it out.
Innovation in Management Series Pegasus Communications, publishers of "The System's Thinkiner" and convener of the "Systems Thinking in Action Annual Conference", has asked us to contribute a booklet on Dialogue to their Innovation in Management Series. This series is designed to provide in-depth introductions to topics and tools in organizational learning. The booklet will be published in 2000. Look for it in your Pegasus catalog.
Pegasus Communications is also carrying our book DIALOGUE. Thank you Pegasus for your support.
