When did we stop thinking?

I often include this in the workshops I deliver:

'I am not here to tell you how to think. But I am asking you to think.'

Somewhere along the way, we have forgotten how to listen and think about what is happening around us.

• What else could be going on ?
• What is being said that you don't hear?
• What is not being said?
  
• What is there that you do not see?

Start thinking. Start asking questions. Question your assumptions about the other.

And then shut up and listen to the answer.
