Chuck Wisner, President of Wisner Consulting, joined Jamie Flinchbaugh on the People Solve Problems podcast to share his insights on improving human dynamics in conversations. With 25 years of experience advising Fortune 200 companies, Chuck has developed a unique approach to understanding and enhancing how people interact. Chuck introduced the concept of the "conversational bypass," a common pitfall in problem-solving and decision-making. He explained that people often jump from storytelling directly to action, skipping over the crucial middle steps of collaboration and creativity. This tendency can lead to hasty decisions and missed opportunities for innovative solutions. To combat this issue, Chuck emphasized the importance of conscious effort in conversations. He suggested that both individuals and groups need to take responsibility for fostering more productive dialogues. For individuals, this means being willing to set aside one's ego and perspective, opening up to different viewpoints. In group settings, leaders should encourage taking extra time to hear all perspectives without judgment or bickering. Chuck shared four key elements to consider in conversations: desires and goals, concerns about the future, authority issues, and standards. By examining these aspects, people can better understand the thinking behind their perspectives and share them more effectively with others. The discussion then turned to the importance of learning in conversations. Chuck stressed that while making decisions is often the perceived goal, the real product of these interactions is the learning that occurs. He advised that to ensure learning is at the center of a conversation, individuals must set aside their judgments and private conversations to truly listen and absorb others' positions. Chuck also explored the role of self-awareness in changing conversational patterns. He shared a personal anecdote about recognizing and altering his own trigger responses with his children, illustrating how awareness can lead to positive change in communication habits. The conversation shifted to creativity and intuition, with Chuck highlighting the importance of embracing the right side of the brain in problem-solving. He encouraged listeners to give themselves permission to dream and wonder about possibilities, moving away from resignation and towards openness. Chuck also discussed his journey in writing his book, "The Art of Conscious Conversations: Transforming How We Talk, Listen, and Interact." He revealed how the process helped him overcome his own limiting beliefs about his writing abilities and provided a structure for connecting various communication tools and concepts.

The Courage to Engage in Conscious Conversations | Chuck Wisner | Voices of Courage S4EP7 Conversations shape our lives, yet we often underestimate their power. Whether you're an introvert or extrovert, mastering the art of communication is essential for personal and professional success. In this episode of Voices of Courage, host Ken D Foster welcomes Chuck Wisner, a leading expert in communication, mediation, and leadership.  Chuck Wisner, president of Wisner Consulting, has worked with top organizations like Google, Apple, Tesla, and Harvard Business School. He brings decades of expertise in communication, leadership, and mediation, offering actionable insights to help you engage in conscious, productive conversations. 

In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with Chuck Wisner, author of "The Art of Conscious Conversation." Chuck shared his fascinating journey from being a trained percussionist and architect to becoming a thought leader in the realm of communication and conversation transformation. We delved into the importance of listening, a skill often underutilized in leadership. Chuck emphasized that true listening requires us to manage our inner dialogue and judgments, allowing us to be fully present and absorb different perspectives. He highlighted that self-reflection is crucial for developing emotional intelligence, which in turn enhances our ability to listen with empathy and compassion. Chuck's book is structured around four archetypal types of conversations: storytelling, collaborative conversations, creative conversations, and commitment conversations. Each type serves as a building block for effective communication, enabling us to better understand ourselves and others. He provided practical insights on how to navigate conflicts by focusing on shared desires and principles, rather than getting caught up in disagreements. As we wrapped up, Chuck encouraged listeners to embrace the power of questions over answers, fostering a mindset of curiosity and openness. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to improve their communication skills, especially nonprofit leaders who face unique challenges in their work.

IASD  provides a Dreamwork Ethics Statementas a guideline for anyone who wants to discuss dreams responsibly.Developed in 1997, it aims to honor the dream as well as the dreamer, and is used as the gold standard in dreamwork worldwide. Read the full ethics statement on asdreams.org/ethics-and-confidentialityHere are 7 key takeaways:1. Respect the Dreamer's IntegrityEthical dreamwork helps the dreamer work with his/her own dream images, feelings, and associations,but doesn't tell anyone what their dream means.The dreamer is the decision maker when it comes to the meaning of their own dream. Listen, ask, reflect, and invite the dreamer todraw their own conclusions.2. Create a Safe SpaceThe dreamer should be forewarned that unexpected issues or emotions may arise in the course of the dreamwork.It might start as ‘just a dream', but may end in an unexpected conversation. Even if it's a short chat, make sure youcan't be overheard or interrupted easily.3. Keep the PrivacyInformation and mutual agreement about the degree of privacy and confidentiality are essential ingredients in creating a safe atmosphere for dream sharing.Assure the dreamer that you will keep what's discussed to yourself, unless they tell you otherwise.4. Let the Dreamer LeadA dreamer's decision to share or discontinue sharing a dream should always be respected and honored.Be mindful of body language, hesitations, or arepeated ‘I don't know', as signs that thisconversation might be at it's end.5. Consider Multiple OptionsEvery dream may have multiple meanings. There are social, cultural, and transpersonal aspects to dream experience. Different techniques may be reasonably employed to touch these multiple layers of significance.Instead of looking for one “true” meaning, help a dreamer explore different associations and ideas.6. The Limits Of DreamworkBe mindful of the limits of the conversation.Dreamwork outside a clinical setting is not a substitute for psychotherapy, or other professional treatment, and should not be used as such. If the conversation requires it, remind the dreamer with empathy that this isn't therapy, and maybe get a nice cup of tea together.7. Tradition MattersIASD recognizes and respects that there are many valid and time-honored dreamwork traditions. We invite and welcome the participation of dreamers from all cultures. There are social, cultural, and transpersonal aspects to a dream experience. Invite the dreamer to educate you on their views on dreams.Send us a textSupport the showFollow The Dream World PodcastVisit Our WebsiteInstagram @TheDreamWorldPodcastTik Tok @aminasdreamworldSpotifyFacebookLucid Dreaming Online Course
