The art of powerful calling and guiding questions
For initiating any form of collaboration (incl. meetings, events, dialogues, trainings) a powerful calling & guiding question is essential for laying a healthy foundation for fruitful collaboration and meaningful outcomes.
Powerful Questions
Here are a few good reminders to follow when you want to craft a powerful question.
Finding the lightbeam
collaboratio helvetica was founded on the experience that more conscious collaboration is needed in order to properly deal with systemic challenges such as the ones contained in the Agenda 2030, and a hunch that a different kind of working together with unlikely allies was key.
Holding the Question
Holding the question is about bringing the focus away from the answer and back to the question. It is about putting as much thought into the question as we have traditionally given to answers. Holding the question is a method of opening the mind and asking life to respond.
What is the Call of Our Times?
I realized that my education has the power to influence me and change my values. In ways that goes beyond the knowledge I am taught, in ways that I am in fact blind to. As soon as I had this realization I could not deviate from it anymore. It was like a gate that had been opened, and as I continued to pay attention, it was not possible to close that gate again. In fact, it just became more open. I left the traditional education system, I went out into the world (and into the unknown) and decided on a path that I really wanted and felt I had truly chosen myself.
