"The Ecology of Conversation" by Judi Beck
“What a pleasure! The Ecology of Conversation brings back many fond memories of the intensity, friendship and laughter with Judi and the other members of Executive Dinner Forum.
If you’re ready to realize the next level of leadership or personal development, this book can help you get there.” George (Butch) Aggen, M.B.A. – former Telecom Executive, Owner/President Goddard School
The Ecology of Conversation consists of 16 short chapters in two sections (Inner Ecology and Outer Ecology).
In Part I, Inner Ecology, the chapters contain true stories that illustrate out-of-the-box thinking regarding one’s choice of response in a conversation or interaction.
At the end of each chapter, the reader is invited to self-inquire about the source of his or her response: “Am I responding to the actual situation or am I fueled by automatic, conditioned or biased information? If I’m operating from a bias, what is its source?”
In Part II, Outer Ecology, the chapters focus on conversational skills with assumptions suspended: “How can I converse authentically to the current situation, free of my natural biases? How can I remain in the present?” Self-inquiry questions follow each chapter in II as well.
The glue that conjoins the chapters is the desire for greater self and other awareness resulting in healthier interactions with self and others.
With Artist’s Way-type questions following each chapter, it is great for book clubs.
Author Judi Beck has navigated the field of executive development since 1985. She has a Master’s degree in Team Development and Ecopsychology. Clients include individuals and teams from Fortune and International 500 companies.
She’s a freelance writer with credits in international, corporate and regional publications. She resides in Boone, NC.
