Group listening with collective story harvest
"Listening is an incredibly calibrating way of getting into alignment with what's really going on. It gets us out of the story about what life is like that we're married to in our heads. And that story goes from individuals to the system. This organization was living in a story that was not accurate. We can't touch reality. We can't shift reality. So how do we get our fingers on what is really happening?"
