Tone of Voice

As we reach out to more and more partners, it's important to be consistent and remind ourselves that we are in this together, collaborating and working towards a better world. Therefore we adopt a non-violent, inclusive communication practice. Some key elements to this are:

  • Acceptance: things are changing and we can't "control" them.
  • Non-judgment: my worldview is incomplete and not the only (valid) worldview
  • Empathy: We are all trying to figure it out in our own ways with our own powers and limitations
  • Curiosity: A willingness to learn, adapt, and try new things

Some key concepts within Guides:

  • Tension: the feeling that there is a gap between how things are and how they could be
  • Gratitude: truly seeing people and practicing appreciation for them in our lives
  • Reflection: Going beyond understanding to search for deeper meaning and truths
