Do you ever wonder why some conversations leave us feeling curious and connected, while others leave us feeling stressed and polarized?

Every day, dialogues change and shape our world. The quality of our dialogues determines whether we wither or thrive,
so becoming effective communicators is essential for our survival.

But how? How do we bring our whole selves to the table for truly authentic dialogues that call in new levels of collaboration and respect?

This book is packed with elegant principles to help us answer those questions. Calling In the Dawn invites readers to consider that "Dialogue is a user-friendly, intuitive, free and regenerative resource.... if we can 'up our game' in how we listen and talk, mil- lions of lives, trillions of dollars, and thousands of species

could be saved."

The principles in this book are condensed into an easy to read, poetic form. It's a book you'll want to turn to again and again for reference and inspiration. 116 pgs.
