199: In Brilliant Conversation with Steve Morris

Steve Morris is on a mission to help organizations and their leaders rise to their potential to live and work wholeheartedly, all while making a positive impact on the world. We last spoke in episode 173 on Beautiful Questions for Challenging Times, which many of you gave us great feedback on—thank you!

Today we’re taking a page out of the Co-Active Training Institute’s playbook on Brilliant Conversations, the context for their recent open Zoom call. As CTI defines it, a Brilliant Conversation has the following qualities: 

• Larger than how we hold a regular conversation
• Intentional conversation where there is no answer, no destination, no problem to solve
• Resist the temptation to converge; allow ourselves to expand, to explore, and to play
• Place and a space where contributions come from ideas, emotions, intuitive hits or spirit or strategy—we use all of us as a resource and our entire field to contribute.
• Divergent nature, where as so many conversations aim to converge
• Call upon on our “brilliant mind” or collective consciousness. We create a brilliant mind together, rather than a singular mind.
• The process is organic and flowing, much like polishing a brilliant diamond.
• You leave with more questions than you had when you came
• We tap into a larger mystery and unfolding that is playing out around us
• You are attuned to what life then starts offering you back as you walk the world with these questions in your heart, spirit, and mind

I hope you enjoy this unfolding, wandering, improvised, in-the-moment conversation with Steve! Be sure to also check out his free Care Package for COVID-19.
