Exploring the distinctive elements of a Generative Communication^TM mindset will resonate with inclusive-thinking participants as we examine the Five Portals of entry into the practice of generative human interaction.

• Embrace Complexity
• Stay Awake
• Ask Questions
• Welcome the Struggle
• Take Responsibility

What does it mean to embrace the natural complexity of life happening all around us?

• Change is constant.
• All of life is interconnected and interdependent.
• Assumptions of control, predictability, and certainty are illusions.

Examining our individual core integrity and unique lifeviews draws us inward for a deeper level of self-awareness. Sharing our stories fosters a more profound connection among us as we explore viable pathways forward. Recognizing that no one has the answers, but together we can generate endless possibilities is our reason for learning about and practicing Generative Communication^TM today. Generative human communication rests on three simple assumptions:

• We’re better together; a generative community is more than the sum of its individual members.
• We become more aware and effective when we reflect on how our thinking informs our interactions and vice versa.
• We are individually responsible for the consequences of our thoughts, actions, and interactions with others and the world around us.
