What we don’t tend to realise is that we – and everyone else – view “objective” through our own subjective lens, our own personal narrative.*
Lisa Cron

The two most important things we can do are to allow ourselves to be seen AND to really see others.**
Bernadette Jiwa

Though I read widely to
find out what others believe, if
I am to join the objective,
I must be prepared to join a great diversity,
Giving up the obstacles I carry within me,
Together seeking to step out of the subjective,
for the sake of the transformation that is so
necessary.

The role of the facilitator is not to get people to collaborate but rather remove the obstacles that are impeding them from doing so.^
