Two nice quotes on dialogue I ran across today in some reading I was doing:
"Dialogue cannot be an act of arrogance..How can I dialogue if I always project ignorance onto others and never perceive my own."
"Dialogue cannot exist without humility."
Paulo Freire
"Since dialogue is a back and forth form of conversation, we need to go into the conversation, open to, perhaps even expecting to change our opinions if we want to engage in dialogue. People who are sure they are right and who aren't interested in learning from others, won't experience dialogue."
Jim Knight
These ideas remind us to be highly conscious of our inner selves as we work as leaders for equity.
Go Paulo!
