Dialogue 14 Years Later…
- Posted by: Joe Williams
As a result of the Dialogue story by Wendy Cherwinski (see “Looking for Learning in all the Right Places” below), several alums have sent in their stories as well. I thought you might be interested in how others are using the tools and in how the desert is still part of their lives. The value of sharing lives on.–Joe
“In the days since I’ve ‘re-entered,’ I’ve discovered that Dialogue in the Desert isn’t about vision, SWOT analysis, maps or O-Matics (although they’re all fabulous tools), it’s about self-discovery, deciding who I want to be, where I want to go and who I want to take with me on life’s exciting adventure!”
Joe, I wrote that sentence 14 years ago after returning from Arizona. My toddlers at the time are now preparing to empty my nest; I’ve helped turn a fledgling start-up into an industry powerhouse; I’ve discovered I can be fitter pushing 50 than I was passing 20; I’ve witnessed the hell of an Iowa flood and the serenity of an Outback sunrise; and through it all I’ve carried memories and voices from my time at ‘Dialogue.’
So is the desert still with me? YES!
